Editing Anazarbus (section)

== Location ==
It was situated in [[Anatolia]] in modern Turkey, in the present [[Çukurova]] (or classical [[Aleian plain]]) about 15&nbsp;km west of the main stream of the present [[Ceyhan River]] (or classical [[Pyramus river]]) and near its tributary the [[Sempas Su]].

A lofty isolated ridge formed its [[acropolis]]. Though some of the masonry in the ruins is certainly pre-Roman, the [[Suda]]'s identification of it with [[Cyinda]], famous as a treasure city in the wars of [[Eumenes of Cardia]], cannot be accepted in the face of [[Strabo]]'s express location of Cyinda in western Cilicia.<ref name="EB1911">{{EB1911|inline=y|wstitle=Anazarbus|volume=1|page=944|first=David George|last=Hogarth|author-link=David George Hogarth}}</ref>
