Λευκὰς στήλας: unidentified as yet, is shown to be near the Marsyas by the use of τε καί (ch. 101. 2; i. 2. 2). The Carian Marsyas, the modern China Chai, must be distinguished from the better-known Phrygian tributary of the Maeander (vii. 26. 3 n.).

Ἰδριάδος χώρης. Its capital, Idrias or Chrysaoris (Paus. v. 21. 10), later called Stratonicea, is now Eski Hissar. In the neighbourhood was a temple of Zeus Chrysaoreus, at which the Carian league met (Strabo 660), but this confederacy appears to belong to a later age (Hicks, J.H.S. xi. 117). To H., Mylasa (i. 171) and Labraunda (ch. 119) are the great Carian shrines.
