[Book travelled in four days' marches sixty miles to the city of Gymnias, which thus appears to be the same as the modern Erz-Rum. It was designated Gymnasia by Dio- dorus Sioulus, and although by name there appears to be a greater connexion between the Russian fort of Gumri on the upper 'Arpa-chai, still other circumstances forbid that identification, and corroborate in a strong m...anner the identity of the i citadel of the Greeks' with the Gym- nias of Xenophon, and which was in that time a large and rich city, well inhabited. Martin gives the modern name of Erz-Rum, from Arzeni er Roum, Arzen or Erzen of the Romans or Greeks, given to it to distinguish it from Arzen in Arzanene, south of the Niphates. D'Her- belot says it is a corruption or Arz-al-Rum * Country of the Romans.' It is obvious therefore that it must have had a previous name among tho Greeks and Romans, and this appears to have boon Gymnias or Gymnasia, from whence were derived the Gymnasian games, and which are mentioned by Xenophon as performed on the arrival of the Greeks at Trebizond.
