ERE´ZII
Eth.
ERE´ZII are placed by Pliny (
5.30) in Mysia, and thus mentioned: “Apolloniatae a Rhyndaco amne, Erezii, Miletopolitae;” from which we conclude that the place was about Apollonia and Miletopolis.
It is remarked (Plin.
H. N. ed. Hard.
Notae, &c. ad lib. v. no. lxxxiv.) that all the MSS. of Pliny have Eresii.
The correction seems probable enough, for the reasons there given. The Table has a name Argesis on the road from Pergamum to Cyzicus, and 35 from Pergamum. Cramer (
Asia Minor, vol. i. p. 58) considers this the same place as the Argiza of Hierocles (
Synecd. p. 663), which seems probable.
He would also identify it with Pliny's Erezii, which may be true, but is not quite so certain.
