Yet in this distraction of Lydia from the Proconsular Asia, it appeareth aswell by nthe Civill and oEcclesiastical lists of the Provinces of the Eastern empire, recorded by the Grecians, as by the psubscriptions of the Council of Chalcedon and other of the Eastern Synods; that the Southern part of Lydia, lying betwixt the rivers of Maeander and Cayster, which we noted to have been attributed by Ptolemy unto Caria (and wherein were the cities of Priene, Magnesia, Trallis and Nysa) was still reserved unto Asia: together with all that lay upon the sea-coast from Ephesus upward, not only unto Pitane and the mouth of Caicus (which we showed to have been a parcel of the Lydian Asia) but also unto Assos and the promontory of Lectum; which was possessed first by the Mysians, then by the Lydians, and lastly by the Aeolians. for that this also, at least wise from Antandrus downward, was sometimes accounted as an appendant unto Lydia, may be gathered, partly from the words of gScylax Caryandensis (though here corrupted) partly from the testimony of Xenophon; who telleth us that he and his company, rdeparting from Antandrus, passed by the sea side of Lydia, unto the plain of Thebes, and through it unto Adramyttium. compared with Strabo, ⟨p. 20⟩relating to the same purpose, that the former sinhabitants of the plain of Thebes were the Lydians, then called Meones: and that t in his time the name of the Lydian gates was still preserved in Adramyttium, as a memorial of the building of that city by the Lydians. Although yet, by the authority of Galen and Eunapius, we begin our Lydian Asia from the river Caïcus and Pergamus: those other places of Atarna, Thebes, Adramyttium and Antandrus, being by uHerodotus also referred to Mysia, and not to Lydia.
