The Towns Carne, Balanea, Paltos, Gabale, the Promontory wherein is the Free (City) Laodicea, with Diospolis, Heraclea, Cha- radrus, Posidium. CHAPTER XXI. Syria Antiochena. THENCEFORWARD is the Promontory of Syria Antiochena ; within is the Free City itself, Antiochena, surnamed Epi- daphne ; through the midst runneth the River Orontes. But in the Promontory is the Free (City) Seleucia, named also Pieria. CHAPTER XXII. The Mountain Casius. ABOVE (the City) Seleucia, there is another Mountain n...amed Casius, as well as the other. This is of that Height, that if a Man be upon the Top of it in the Night, at the Fourth Watch, he may behold the Sun rising. So that with a little turning of his Body, he may at one Time see both Day and Night. The Passage round to the Top is 19 Miles ; but directly up, it is only Four Miles. In the Bor- ders runneth the River Orontes, which riseth between Li- banus and Antilibanus, near to Heliopolis. Then, the Town Rhosos : and behind, the Passages between the Mountains Rhosii and Taurus, which are called Portae Syrise.
