CALLAICI. the itinerariw of the expedition, in which however the nnmben were evidently confused. (Plin. vi 17. fl.21.) [P.S.] CALLAICI. [Gallaeci.] CALLAS (KfiUAas), a smaller river on the north coast of Eaboea, flowing into the sea near Oreos. (Strab. X. p. 445.) CALLATE'BUS (KoAAarT^^os). Xerxes, on his inarch from Colossae to Sardes, crossed the Maeander and came to Oallatebus, a city of Lydia, where men make honey, that is sugar, out of the tamarisk and wheat (Herod. viL31). Stephauus («. v. KaWdnieos^ merely copies Herodotus, and adds the Ethnic name KoAXar^^iOS, probably his own invention.. The tamarisk grows in great abundanc« in the valley of the C(^amu8 near Ain^h Gkieul (Hamilton, ResearckeSj &c vol. ii. p. 374), which is north of the Maeander and on the road to Sardes. It corresponds well enough to thiB probable position of Callatebus, but there is no evidence to identify it. [6. L.] CALLATXS (KaAAaris, KdKaris, KoWario, or KaXKamia), a large city of Xhrace,.on the coast of the Euxine. It was a colonic of Miletus (Mela, il. 2), and its original name Acervetis. (Pliiu iv. 18.) The author of the E^fm. Mag» describes it as a co- lony of Henicleia, which may mean nothing e]s&.but that, at a later period, fresh colonists were sent out from Herackaa. (Scyl. Perijpi, p. 2&; Strab. viL p. 319; Scymn. Frag^ 15; Diod. xix. 7^3, xx« 25; Anonym. PeripL p. 12; Steph. B, 8.v, ; Procpp. de ^6<f(/^ iv. 1 1 ; Ptol. iii. 10. 1 8; Amm. Marc xxvii. 4.) The town a^ipears to haye been flt^nriiihing down to a late period, and is now generally identified with the town of Collat or ColhU. [L. S.] CALLENSES. [Calemtum]. CALLEVA, in Britain, distant 22 miles, accord- ing to the Itinerary^ from Venta B<?Igarum, in the direction of the Thames. In the seventh Iter this town is specified as Calleva Attrebatuoi. In the tw^h it is simply CaUeva. How far does this justil^ us in separa^ng the two towns ?• It simply indicates th^ likelihood of there having been another Calleva somewhere. It by no means proves that the Calleva of the twelfth Iter was such a second one. Hence, the identity or ditferen<» is to be determined by the special evidence of the case. Now, a similar inconsistency — as is remarked by Horsley — occurs in the notice of Isurium.. Iji one Ifer it is Jturium Brigantwn^ ip another, simply Isurium. Hence, the assumption of a second Calleva, mentioned by tm^ ext€mt author y is unnecessaiy. Of the one in question, SUckester is th^ generally recognised mo- dem equivalent. Jd^ [R. Q. L.] CALUARUS {KaXXitxpos : Eih, KoAAxopci^s), a town in eastern Locris mentioned b> Homer, was un- inhabited in Strabo^s time, bat its n<une was still attached to a tract of ground on account of the ferti- lity of the latter. (Hom. IL ii. 531 ; Strab. i^. p. 426: Steph. B. <. v.; Leake, Northern Greecey vol. ii. p, 180.) OAUJ'CHOBUS, a river of Bithynia mentioned by Pliny (vi. I) and also by Scylax (Penj>/. p. 34). [G. L.] CALLFCULA MONS, a range of mountains in the northern part of Campania. The name is found only in Livy (xxii. 15, 16), from whom wo gather that it was the ridge which separates the great plain on the N. of the Vultumus, known as the Falemus Ager, from the upper valley of that river, about Calatia and AUifae, which belonged to Sam- nium. This ridge is, in fact, the same of which the CALLIPOLIS. 481 continuation S. of the Vultumus was known as the Mons Tifata. ^annihal crossed it without opposi- tion oa his march from Sasmium into Campania (b.c. 21 7X ^^«<i li® hud waste the Faleraian Plain; but on his return Fabius oocupisd the passes of Mt. Callicula, as well as Casilinum, which com- manded the passage of the Vultumus, hoping tlius to cut off his retreat. Hannibal,, however, deceived him b|r a stratagem, and effected the- passage of the mountain without diffict^lty {/Ik 16^18). Poly- bins,. who .rehites the same operations (iii. 9^1 — 94), designates thif mountain range by the name of 'EptSuxy^v, for which it has been pitoposed to read Tp«6iay^v, from Trebia or Trebnla, a small town in this neighbourhood; but the position of, Trebula is not well ascertained, and the ** Trehisfius Ager,** mentioned by Livy in another passage ((Kxiii. 14), is placed by him S. of the Vultumus. The name givan by Poly bins is, however, in all probability, corrupt. [E, H. B.] CALLrDROMUS. [Oeta.] CALLI'ENA (KaXXiwa, Arrian. Peripl. Mar. Eryihr.f KaAAiay<£, Cosmas Indicopl ii. p. 337: JToZ/tanfMe, on the mainland, opposite Bombay^^ a considerable seaport and capital odT a principality on the W. coast of India. [P. S.] CALLIENSES. [Caluum.] CA'LLIFAE, a town of Samnium, mentioned only by Livy (viii. 25) who relates that the consuls C. Petelius and L. Papirius in b. c. 323, took three towns of the Samnites, Callifae, Ri^rium and Allifae. Cluver supposes Callitae to bo represented by the modem Carife^ in the country of the Hirpini, be- tween Frigento and TVmco; but this position seems much too distant : and it is more probable that all the three towns were sitjuited in the same neigh- bourhood. A local an^quarian has given strong reasons for placing CallifEi^ on the site of Calvisi^ a village about five ndles £« oi Allife^ at the foot of the Monte Matese^ where there exist some remains of an ancient town. (Trutta, Antickita AUifane^ 4to., Napoli, 1776; BomaneUi, voh.iL p. 458; Abeken, Mittel ItcUieu, p. 98.^ [E. H. B.] CALLIGA [Calikoae]. CALLrOERIS (KaWiytpis), an. inland city of India intra Gangem, on the W. side of the peninsula, between the rivers Benda and Pseud^stomus. (Ptol. vii. 1. § 83.) Some identify it, with Calliena. (Mannert, vol. v. pt i. p. 146.), [P. S.] CALLIGICUM PBO>L [Co^y.]. CALLINl'CUS, CALLINI'CUM. [Nicepho. RIUM.] CALLINU'SA(KaAUv<ra=.KaX^ N^tros?), a promontory to the NW. of Cyprus, which Ptolemy (v. 14. § 4) pUces to the W. of SfAl D'Anville (Mem. de VAcad. des Inscr. vol^ xxxii. p. 537), from one Venetian map, gives it the name of Eleni^ and from another Venetian map, Capo de A leasan- dreta. (iingel, Kypros^ vol. i. p. 74; Mariti, Viaggi^ vol. i. 199.) [E. B. J.] CALLl'OPE (ICffAXi<Jin7, Pol x. 31 ; Appian, Syr. 57; Steph. B.; Plin. vi. 17. s. 29), a town founded by Seleucus in Pa^thia. The situation is unknown ; but it is moitioned by Appian as one ot many towns built by Seleucus, uod named by him after other Greek towns. TV I CALLI'POLIS (KoAAfwoXij). I. (Gallipolt), a maritime city of Calabria, situated on the Tarentine Gulf, about 30 miles from the lapygian promontory, and between 50 and 60 from Tarentum. (Pliny I gives the former distance at 32 M.
