(1) the geographical situation of the Pentapolis, as described Ch. XVI
§ i; (a) the results we have already reached about Lysias, we cannot
doubt that this lofty mountain was part of the chain bounding the
'Pentapolis on E. Further, the mountain direct E. from Sandykli
lies over Synnada, and it is clear that the author distinguishes the
' mountain opposite Lysias' from the Synnada range, which was
alluded to in describing the journey of the Magistrianoi from Synnada
to Hieropolis (Ch. XVII § 2). This mountain opposite Lysias was
evidently south from the Synnada range; and the sacred fountain
and place of Knee-bending (Ch. XVII § 2) ought to be discoverable.
In 1891 we ascended from Karghyn, but bad weather and dense mist
rendered exploration impossible. We came down on Yiprak at N. end
of Campus Metropolitanus. Now Lysias cannot be placed in that
valley (see § a and 4), while the mountain on our left, as we crossed
the ridge, is naturally defined as opposite Oinan1: therefore we
conclude that Lysias was the city whose ruins are seen on a mound
between Oinan and Aresli.
§ 7. Oiniatai, a people mentioned only in the Tekmorian lists
found near the N. end of Bey-Sheher lake 2, seem to have been the
Phrygian tribe that inhabited Oinan-Ova. In their territory, on the
great road, Lysias, a general of Antiochus the Great, founded the Greek
city Lysias, during the last struggle for Seleucid domination over Asia
Minor, near 200 B.C. A village of the Oiniatai seems to have been
called Deiaga, no. 708 ; and near the West end of Oinan-Ova, evidently,
was situated Dinia (or Khelidonia3), which Manlius traversed between
Metropolis and Synnada.
1 Oinan is far enough away to be 2 Hist. Geogr. pp. 411 ff.
'opposite' the mountain and not s Hist. Geogr. p. 171: so M. Radet En
'under' it. Fhrygie (map). Can Dinia be Oinia?
Note 1. It is noteworthy that a characteristic Pisidian type, Helena between
the Dioskouroi, occurs at Sibidounda; and I bought two coins of Sibidounda on
the Pisidian frontier near Olbasa.
Note 2. Okoklia is indicated (perhaps rightly) as the city of the tribe Lykaones
in my Church in B. E., map : that would explain why it is so rarely mentioned.
It was corrupted into Ptolemy's Kerkopia between Lysias and Eukarpia (V 2, 23).
