MAGYDUS
MAGYDUS (
Μάγυδος: Eth.
Μαγυδεύς; called
Μάσηδος by
Scylax, p. 39), a town of Pamphylia, on the coast between Attaleia and Perge, and subsequently of episcopal rank, is probably the MYGDALE (
Μυγδάλη), of the Stadiasmus.
There are numerous imperial coins of Magydus, hearing the epigraph
ΜΑΓΥΔΕΩΝ. Leake identities it with
Laara. (
