CABUBATHRA. were in tlie vallej of the Lycos, and if not on the same spot, at least very near to one another. Stephanas (<. r. NcoKfluadipcia : Eth. NcoKoiaofHci/s) adds to our difficalties by saying or seeming to say that the inhabitants were also called Adrianopolitae. Where he got this from, nobody can telL Hamilton was inforraed at Nikaar that on the mad from Niktar to Skoaty and about fbnrteen hfmn from Niksar, there is a high perpendicnlar rock, almost inaccessible on all sides, with a stream of water flowing from the top, and a river at its base. This is exactly Strabo's description of Cae- Don. [Q. L.] CABUBATHRA MONS (Ka6o{>€aepa 6pos), a noantain on the SW. coast of Arabia, mentioned by Ptolemy (vi. 7. §§ 8, 12) as the western extremity of the coontry of the Homeritae, 1 ^° £. of the Straits of the Red Sea (^Bab-el-Mandeh). This situation would nearly coincide with the Jebel Kitrrvz in Capt. Haines's Charts which rises to the height of 2772 feet [G. W.] GABURA BACTRIANAE. [Ortobpana.] CABYXE or CALYBE (KaivKvi, KaXviriy a town in the interior of Thnce, west of Develtus, on the rirer Tonsus. It was colonised by Philip with rebellioas Macedonians, and afterwards taken by M. Lucuilus. (Dem. de Cherson. p. 60; Pol. xiii. 10; Stnb. viL p. 330; Ptol. ill. 11. § 12; Entrop. vi.8; Sext. Rnf. Brev. 9; PUn. iv. 18; Steph. B. s.v.) Gabyle is probably the same as the town of Goloe ro«ntioned by Anna Comnena (x. pp. 274, 281), and is generally identified with the modern Golewitza or ChalU-OvasL [L. S.] CACHALES (Kox<iAi|»)i a "▼«" of Phods, ri- sing in Mt. Parnassus, and flowing by Tithorea into the Cephissns. (Pans. x. 32. § 1 1 ; Leake, Northern Greece, voL iL pp. 78, 81.) CACYPARIS (JSMc^apii), a river on the E. coast of Sicily, roenti<med only by Thucydides (vii. 79) during die retreat of the Athenians from Syra- cose; fWnn whom we learn that it was the first river they met with in proceeding along the coast road towards Heloms, and had a course of some length, BO as to a£ford a passage up its valley into the in- terior. It is still called the CasnbUi, a considerable Btmm, which rises near Pakussolo (the ancient Acrae), about 15 miles from the sea, and flows through a deep valley. It is distant, by the road fnMn Syracuse to NotOj 9 miles from the bridge over the Anapus. [E. H. B.] CACYRUM (KdKvpoy : Eth. Cacyrinus), a town in Sicily, mentioned only by Pliny and Ptolemy, who afford no clue to its poeition. But it is supposed by Cluverius to be represented by the modem CassarOy about 4 miles N. of PalaaolOf the ancient Acrae. (Plin. iu. 8. s. 14; Ptol. iii. 4. § 14; Cluver. StciL p. 359.) [E. H.B.] CADE'NA (rd Kdhipa), a place in Cappa- docia mentioned by Strabo (p. 537) as the royal residence of one Sisinas, who in the time of Strabo was aiming at the sovereignty of the Cappadocians. The site is unknown, though D'Anville fixed it at Nigde. Cramer {Asia Minor, vol. ii. p. 132) writes the name Cadyna, and adds that Strabo seems to state that it was on the borders of Lycaonia; but see Groskurd's note (TransL Stnib. vol. il. p. 452) on the passage. [0. L.] CADI (KcCSoc Eth, KoJn»'^0» * ^^7 ^ ^X*** acooniing to Stephanos (s. v. Kadoi). Strabo (p. 576) mentiflos Cadi with Azani as a city of Phrygia CADRUSL 463 Epictetns, but he adds that some assign it toMysia Cadi is south of Azani, or Tehavdour-Husarf and a traveller going from Azani to Cadi croeses the water-shed between the basin of the Rhyndacus and the basin of the Hermus. A town now caUed Kedva or Ghiedigy stands on a small stream, the Ghiediz Choi, which flows into the Hermus; but it is not the chief branch of the Hermus, though the Turks give the name of Ghiedk Choi to the Hermus nearer the sea. Hamilton says {Retearehetf &c., vol. i. p. 108) that hardly any ancient remains exist at GhtediZf a place which he visited, but he heard of remains at a place highor up the Hermus, named Ghieukler, near the foot of Morad Dagh, Mons Dindymene, which contains the source of the Her* mus. The coins of Cadi have not the Ethnic name Ka8i7f we, as Stephanus gives it, but KoJkruvm; The river Hermus is represented on them, but thb will not prove, as Hamilton correctly observes, that the Ghiediz Choi is the Hermus, but only that Cadi %va8 not far from the Hermus. Cadi may be the place which Propertius (iv. 6, 8) calls " Mygdonii Cadi." It was afterwards an episcopal see. [G. L.] CADISTUS, a mountain of Crete, belonging to the ridge of the White Mountains. Its position has been fixed by Hoeck (Kreta, voL i. p. 380) at Cape Sp&dha, the most northerly pdnt of the whole island. In Ptolemy (iii. 17. § 8) this promontory bears tlie name of YddcoK JSacpov; while Strabo (x. p. 484) calls it AiKTTiivaioy iucpurrfipioVy and his remark that MeloB lay at nearly the same distance fi^m it as from the Scyllaean promontory, shows that he indicated this as the most northerly point of the island. The mass of mountain of which the cape was composed bore the double name of Cadistus and Dictynnaeus. (Plin. iv. 12. s. 20; Solin. 16.) It would seem that Pliny and Solinus were in error when they described Cadis- tus and Dictynnaeus as two separate peaks. Ycbcov Axpor and Cadbtus were the original and proper names of the promontory and mountain, while Auc- r(/waiov tucpirfipuw and 6pos were epithets after- wards given, and derived from the worship and temple of Dictynna. [E. B. J.] CADMEIA. [Thebae.] CADMUS (KdS^of), a mountam of Phrygia Magna (Strab. p. 578), which the Turks call Baba Dagh: the sides are well wooded. A river Cadmus flowed from the mountain, probably the GieukBonar, which flows into the Lycus, a tributary of Uie Mae- ander. (Hamilton, Researchetj &c., vol. i. p. 513.) The range of Cadmus forms the southern boundary of the basin of the Maeander in these parts. Pliny's remark about it (v. 29) does not help us. Ptolemy (v. 2) puts it in the latitude of Mycale, which is tolerably correct. [G. L.] CADRA, in Cappadoda, an eminence on Taurus, which Tacitus (i4fm. vi. 41) mentions with Davara, another strong place, which the Clitae occupied when they resisted Roman taxation. M. Trebellius com- pelled them to surrender. [G. L.] CA1)REMA (KafiptfM: Eth. KoSpc/ucvs), a city of Lycia, a colony of Olbia: the word is intcarpreted to mean " the parching of com " (Steph. t. v. Kd- SpcMa). It is conjectured (Spratt's Lgciay voL i. p. 218) that the ruins at Gormaky at the extremity of the territory of Olbia [AttaleiaI may be Cadrema. [G. L.] CAPRUSI (Plin. vi. 23. s. 25), a district on the Indian Caucasus or Paropamisus, in which was situ- ated the Alexandreia founded by Alexander the Great CO his march into Bactria* (Arrian, iiL 28,
