Editing Caria (section)

=== Coastal Caria ===
Coastal Caria begins with [[Didyma]] south of [[Miletus]],<ref>Page 170.</ref> but Miletus had been placed in the pre-Ion Caria. South of it is the Iassicus Sinus ([[Güllük]] Körfezi) and the towns of [[Iasus, Caria|Iassus]] and [[Bargylia]], giving an alternative name of Bargyleticus Sinus to Güllük Körfezi, and nearby Cindye, which the Carians called [[Andanus]]. After Bargylia is [[Caryanda]] or Caryinda, and then on the [[Bodrum]] Peninsula [[Myndus]] (Mentecha or Muntecha), {{convert|56|mi|km|0}} from Miletus. In the vicinity is Naziandus, exact location unknown.

On the tip of the Bodrum Peninsula (Cape Termerium) is Termera (Telmera, Termerea), and on the other side Ceramicus Sinus ([[Gulf of Gökova|Gökova Körfezi]]). It "was formerly crowded with numerous towns."<ref>Page 176.</ref> [[Halicarnassus]], a Dorian Greek city, was planted there among six Carian towns: [[Theangela]], [[Sibde]], [[Medmasa]], [[Euranium]], [[Pedasa]] or Pedasum, and [[Telmissus]]. These with Myndus and [[Syangela]] (or Syagela or Souagela) constitute the eight Lelege towns. Also on the north coast of the Ceramicus Sinus is [[Ceramus]] and Bargasus.

On the south of the Ceramicus Sinus is the Carian Chersonnese, or Triopium Promontory ([[Cape Krio]]), also called Doris after the [[Dorians|Dorian]] colony of [[Cnidus]]. At the base of the peninsula ([[Datça Peninsula]]) is Bybassus or Bybastus from which an earlier names, the Bybassia Chersonnese, had been derived. It was now Acanthus and Doulopolis ("slave city").

South of the Carian Chersonnese is Doridis Sinus, the "Gulf of Doris" (Gulf of [[Symi]]), the locale of the Dorian Confederacy. There are three bays in it: Bubassius, [[Thymnias]] and Schoenus, the last enclosing the town of Hyda. In the gulf somewhere are Euthene or Eutane, Pitaeum, and an island: [[Elaeus]] or Elaeussa near [[Loryma]]. On the south shore is the Cynossema, or Onugnathos Promontory, opposite [[Symi]].

South of there is the [[Rhodian Peraea]], a section of the coast under [[Rhodes]]. It includes [[Loryma]] or Larymna in Oedimus Bay, Gelos, Tisanusa, the headland of Paridion, Panydon or Pandion (Cape Marmorice) with Physicus, [[Amos (ancient city)|Amos]], Physca or Physcus, also called Cressa ([[Marmaris]]). Beyond Cressa is the Calbis River ([[Dalyan]] River). On the other side is [[Kaunos|Caunus]] (near Dalyan), with [[Pisilis]] or Pilisis and [[Pyrnos]] between.

Then follow some cities that some assign to Lycia and some to Caria: [[Calynda]] on the Indus River, [[Crya]] and Alina in the Gulf of Glaucus (Katranci Bay or the Gulf of [[Fethiye|Makri]]), the Glaucus River being the border. Other Carian towns in the gulf are Clydae or Lydae and Aenus.
