App. II 1. PISIDIAN PHRYGIA. 317
unfortunately his purpose compelled him to harmonize them in a map.
He made lists of Pisidian Phrygia and of Milyas x good in outline but
rather defective: then he took his Greek list of Pisidia as a whole,
cut out from it the names which he had already given in these sections,
and left the rest in his section of Pisidia proper. Hence in the latter
he gives names that properly belong to the former two sections, Talbonda
and perhaps Obranassa in Pisidian Phrygia, Olbasa in Milyas. But,
making allowance for these faults, his lists are useful, especially that of
Phrygian Pisidia, where he correctly aims at giving a country originally
part of Phrygia, which gradually came to be reckoned to Pisidia. It
extends to include Lysinia and Kormasa, frontier cities between Milyas
and Pisidian Phrygia. But other considerations force us to assign these
two cities definitely to Milyas. The spirit of Ptolemy's own lists proves
that Sagalassos was strictly Pisidian, and the southern boundary of
Pisidian Phrygia was the lofty ridge (c. 8oco feet) stretching east and
west between Sagalassos and the valley of Minassos and Isbarta. But
Sagalassos owned the land all along the east and south coast of lake
Askania, § 4. This stretch must be taken as the border of Pisidia and
Phrygia; and Kormasa and Lysinia must be left to Milyas 2. This line
of demarcation agrees excellently both with Artemidorus's list of Pisidia 3
and with Strabo's account of Milyas, and may be regarded as accurate.
