the territory of Hydrela, which lay towards Phrygia,
and also the forts and villages on the MaBander,
with the exception of snch places as were free
hefore the war with Antiochus. To the Rhodians
they gave the other portion of Caria, consisting of
the part of the coast lying nearest to Rhodes, and
the districts in the direction of Pisidia, those towns
which were free hefore the war with Antiochns not
heing included in this grant. The Rhodians thus
obtained a considerable addition to the tract called
Peraea, lying opposite their island, which they seem
to have held from an earlier period, as it is men-
tioned in Scylax as their territory f and this grant
included Caunus/ which, though lying within the
territory of Persea, had probably been independent
up to this date, and continued from time to time to
make struggles for liberty till the Augustan age.

After the war with Perseus, king of Macedon,
B.C. 168, Mylasa, Alabanda, and Caunus revolted
from Rhodes; and an appeal being made to Rome,
the Senate, displeased with the part taken by
the Rhodians in the war with Perseus, deprived
them of that part of their Carian territory which
they had bestowed after the defeat of Antiochus/'

x When the Rhodians claimed the Persea from Philip V. they
declared that it belonged to them a majoribus suis.—Livy, xxxiii.
18 ; cf. Scylax, Peripl. p. 38. According to Strabo (xiv. pp. 651-2)
the Persea of Rhodes lay between Mount Phcenix and Dtedala.

y Appian, Mithrid. c. 23. The Rhodians, according to Poly-
bius, xxxi. 7, bought Caunus from the generals of Ptolemy for
200 talents. This was probably after B.C. 309, when Caunus was
taken by Ptolemy Soter.—Diodor. xx. 27.
