MELA´NIA
MELA´NIA (
Μελανία), a place on the coast of Cilicia, a little to the west of Celenderis, perhaps on the site of the modern
Kizliman. (
Strab. xiv. p.670.) From another passage of Strabo (
xvi. p.760), compared with Stephanus B. (s. v.
Μέλαιναι), it would seem that the place was also called Melaenae.
