bands; 1 and several of their laws were derived from tlie war
like and civilized Carians, with whom, through the Termilae,
as well as the ancient Phrygians, Mysians, and Lydians, they
appear to have been connected. Therefore, instead of the in
habitants of this part of the peninsula having come originally
from Syro-Phoenicia, it is probable that the spread of mankind
carried a Lycian colony in the latter direction. Stephanus
states, 2 that Ascalon was built by Ascalus, a Lydian; and a
direct connexion must once have subsisted between Asia
Minor and the countries southward, since Lud or Lydus, the
grandson of Meon, Menes or Osiris, who reigned over Lydia,
Phrygia, &c., 3 subsequently under the name of Mizraim
reigned over Egypt. 4 It may be added, that Tyrrhenus
emigrated westward from Lydia, 5 and Pelops from Phrygia,
when these countries were dependencies of Assyria. 6
The Pashalik just described (Mogolla) completes the districts
of the Vezirate of Anadoli; the other governments yet to be
noticed, westward of the Kizil-Irmak, are Koniyeh, Mar'ash,
and I'ch-ili. The first of these, which is aiso called Kharidj
or Karaman Proper, has, on the west, the Sultan Tagh,
which separates it from the districts of Tekeh and Hamid; on
the north Kara-hisar and Angora; on the east Mar'ash and
part of Sivas, and on the south Fch-iH, or rather the interven
ing chain of the Taurus.
Besides the district immediately around the capital, the
Pashalik of Koniyeh comprises, towards the west, the San-
jaks of Isaura, Seidi-shehr, Beg-shehr, and Ak-shehr; towards
the east the Musellimlik of Ak-serai', the Vaivodehliks of
