name Adrastos was also very common at Herakleia; but was equally
favoured at Aphrodisias, Attouda, and Trapezopolis.
11. The other cities of the valley of Tabai are Tabai, still retaining its
name (in the old accusative form) as Davas, and APOLLONIA-Salbake at
Medet. M. Waddington first fixed the site of Apollonia, and MM. Paris
and Holleaux, not observing this, have again repeated some of the reasons
which led him to this view BCH 1885 p. 343, where they published
several inscriptions of the city (one mentions a body of four archons).
The office stephanephoros existed at Apollonia, and probably in all cities
of this district.
Further east than Apollonia, in a small valley surrounded by moun-
tains, lie the ruins of Sebastopolis beside Kizilje. Its site was deter-
mined first by Schonborn, then again by Sterrett, and finally by
MM. Paris and Holleaux. The original name of Sebastopolis is
unknown. In the Notitiae, the city is not mentioned under that name,
and probably its native Phrygian or Carian name had revived. Perhaps
either Tapassa or Anotetarte should be identified with it2. Sebastopolis
was the extreme city of the conventus of Alabanda on this side.
