（τὸ Τῆμνον ὄρος). Now DemirdjiDagh; a mountain of Mysia, extending eastward from Ida to the borders of Phrygia, and dividing Mysia into two parts. It contains the sources of the Macestus, Mysius, Caïcus, and Evenus (Strabo, p. 616).

Now Kayajik; a city of Aeolis, in the northwest of Lydia, thirty miles south of Cymé. It was nearly destroyed by an earthquake in the reign of Tiberius, and is not noticed by Pliny.
