§ 1. The Country. Eefore finishing the Lycos valley proper, it is
best to discuss that part of the Maeander valley which was sometimes
considered to be a part of Phrygia. The topography of this district
still presents some difficult problems, on which scholars are divided
and controversy keen. Recent exploration x has neglected this readily
accessible and frequently visited district, and gone to more remote
parts of the countiy, and thus some obscurity still exists about the
sites of Attouda, Trapezopolis, Kidramos, Karoura, and the temple of
Men Karou. We shall take the view to which the balance of evidence
inclines, leaving several points for future exploration to solve.
The hilly alluvial tracts of country on which the first three of these
