have borne the general name Gordos in Byzantine time (Hist. Geogr.
p. 209 f), and to have contained three bishoprics—Gordorinia, Gordoserba,
and Nova Justinianopolis Gordi.

The question then arises—can there be any connexion between the
names Krassos and Gordos or Gordios ? Can Krassos go back to a form
Krat-yo-s or Kart-yo-s ? If that be admitted, then Kart-yo-s is equiva-
lent to the familiar Gordios, where the vocalization varies as in Tataion-
Tottaion (in this same district, but more to N.E.) and the other examples
quoted on p. 153 1.

I may add that formerly I made the error of placing Krassos a little
East from Dorylaion, failing to observe that the negotiations between
Artavasdos and Constantine imply that the latter was still on his way
to Dorylaion, when he was attacked by Artavasdos, and that therefore
Krassos, where he lay, must have been between Constantinople and
Dorylaion.
