On this occasion also it seems that we ought to speak of Galatia [Note], which lies above Phrygia, and includes the greater part of the territory taken from that province, as also its
former capital, Gordium [Note]. The Gauls [Note] who have settled in these parts, are called the Tolistobogi, the Voturi, and the Ambitouti; those who dwell in Mæonia and Paphlagonia are called the Trocmi. Cappadocia stretches along to the north-east of Galatia, its most fertile parts being possessed by the Tectosages and the Teutobodiaci. These are the nations by which those parts are occupied; and they are divided into peoples and tetrarchies, 195 in number. Its towns are, among the Tectosages, Ancyra [Note]; among the Troemi, Tavium [Note]; and, among the Tolistobogi, Pessinus [Note]. Besides the above, the best known among the peoples of this region are the Actalenses, the Arasenses, the Comenses [Note], the Didienses, the Hierorenses, the Lystreni [Note], the Neapolitani, the Œandenses, the Seleucenses [Note], the Sebas-
teni [Note], the Timoniacenses [Note], and the Thebaseni [Note]. Galatia also touches upon Carbalia in Pamphylia, and the Milyæ [Note], about Baris; also upon Cyllanticum and Oroandicum [Note], a district of Pisidia, and Obizene, a part of Lvcaonia. Besides those already mentioned [Note], its rivers are the Sangarius [Note] and the Gallus [Note], from which last the priests [Note] of the Mother of the gods have taken their name.
