both these cities; while Ptolemy's map places it east of Laodiceia
and Themisonion and south of Apameia1. But Ptolemy is so inexact
in his positions that we must not trust much to him, and can only
infer that Keretapa was in Southern Phrygia. It seems impossible
to find any place for it either on the line Colossai-Sanaos or on the
line Laodiceia-Themisonion-Cibpra2, so that we are led to seek for
it in the country south from Colossai and Apameia and east from
Themisonion.

M. Kadrnos, which rises sheer from the Lycos valley to its height
of 8013 feet above the sea., is backed by a mountainous region, with
high-lying pasture-lands, which gradually slope clown to a series
of lakes on S.E. One of these, called Salda from a village at its
S.W. extremity, is of considerable size. The other two (further to
E. and N.E.), Tchorak-Gol and Yarashli-Gol, are smaller and salt,
