TOWN OF KASTAMUNI.
[CHAP. XIV.
Subdivisions
of the province.
Orminius. This tract has an elevation of about 3000 feet:
it contains many villages, and is one of the most productive
wheat districts of
Anatolia
Peninsula that forms most of modern-day Turkey.
. 1 Northward of this upland,
Kastamuni is broken up by abrupt and sharp, or else rounded
mountains, intersected by deep, narrow, and picturesque
valleys, which either terminate on the shores of the Black
Sea, or, as in the case of the O'rdeiri and G6k Irmak, run,
the former into the valley of the Parthenius, and the latter
into^ that of the Halys; and, lastly, the Kayd O'ghli, the
Bulak, and the rich vale of Serb Dereh, which are in the
vicinity of Za'faran Boll. 2
The territory of Kastamuni contains the A'yanliks of
' Amaserah (Amastus, or New Sesamum), 3 Sinub (Sinope), 4
Karugatch, and Ainabol (Ineboli), with the towns of
Kerempeh (Carambis) and Istifan (Stephane), all on the
Black Sea; and, in the interior, Tash Kopri (Pompeiopolis),
Boi-abad, Oluz, and the seat of government. In the imme
diate district of Kastamuni are the A'yanliks of Chilam, Da-
dahi, Jurimaran, Tokatli, and Za'faran Boli; the latter'is an
interesting and flourishing town, containing several mosques,
khans, baths, and 15,000 inhabitants: its chief trade is in
saffron, which is largely cultivated in the neighbourhood, 5
Kaatamfini. Kastamuni itself occupies one valley, and its suburbs
another; and these are separated by the rocky cliff occupied
by its rude castle. The town is watered by the Gok-su,
and it contains about 12,000 houses of inferior construction,'
with the usual proportion of mosques, khans, and dirty
narrow streets : manufactures of wool, cotton, leather and
copper, occupy the inhabitants 6 of this place, the ancient
Castaman. 7
