From Conopæum to Euſene 120 ſtadia. From Euſene to Amiſus 160 ſtadia. Strabo and Stephanus Byzantines ſay, that it is 900 ſtadia from Sinope to Amiſus. Arrian makes it 1060. According to the Peutingerian Tables, it is 94 m. p. from Sinope to Amiſus, equal to 752 ſtadia. Pliny ſays, that it is 130 miles, equal to 1040 ſtadia, not very different from Arrian's computation. D'Anville makes it to be only 740 ſtadia. Arrowſmith's chart makes it to be about 89.5 Engliſh miles, equal to about 781 ſtadia. Citizen Beauchamp's Geography of the Black ſea makes it to be 75′, equal to about 87 Engliſh miles, or 756 ſtadia. Strabo ſays, that the diſtance from Trapezus to Amiſus is about 2200 ſtadia. According to Arrian, it is 2325 ſtadia. Arrowſmith's chart makes it nearly 3° of longitude, which in latitude 41° is about 157.5 Engliſh miles, or 1370 ſtadia nearly.

From Trapezus to the Phaſis is, according to Strabo, near 1400 ſtadia. Arrian makes it 1450, which agrees well with Strabo, who meant to expreſs a rude calculation only. It is not, by Arrowſmith's chart, more than 947 ſtadia, in a direct line; but that is not the diſtance underſtood by theſe writers.

Strabo, in the ſame place, counts it about 8000 ſtadia from the Fanum Jovis Urii to the Phaſis. Arrian makes it, from the Fanum lovis Urii to Trapezus, 6935 ſtadia, and from Trapezus to the Phaſis 1450, in all 8385 ſitadia; a difference in the proportion nearly of 20 to 19, which is no great difference in a rude calculation.

From Amiſus to Ancon 160 ſtadia. This is the mouth of the Iris, the largeſt river, according to Tournefort, on this coaſt. The
