HAMA´XIA
HAMA´XIA (
Ἁμαξία), a small town in the western part of Cilicia Aspera. (
Strab. xiv. p.669.)
It had a good roadstead for ships, and excellent cedars for ship-building. (
Lucan 8.259.) Hamaxia is perhaps the same place as Anaxium (
Stadiasm. Mar. Magni, § 188), which, however, is placed west of Coracesium, so that it would belong to Pamphylia. (Comp. Leake,
Asia Minor, p. 197.)
