tes Lesbias topos; kai Panephaistia tes Lemnou akroterion--kai en Bithuniai, kai peri Chalkedona, kai tes Karias; kai en tei Halikarnasidi Dorion pedion; kai en Hellespontoi; esti kai alle Cherrhonesos tes Indikes; en de tei ektos Gangou Indikei.] Stephanus Byzant. See also [Greek: Chrusopolis] ibidem. [130] Cedrenus. p. 12. [131] Strabo. l. 16. p. 1095. [132] Hoffman Lexic. [133] Plutarch de fluminibus. p. 1151. The original name was Chrusaor, which had no relation to a golden stream: at least that part of it was so named which ran through the city Mastaura. See Stephanus Byzant.

[136] The antients, as I have before observed, were not consistent in their theology. The Sun was properly Cham, styled also Orus, but, as a title, was bestowed upon more persons than one.

Chruse Aphrodite is plainly the Cuthite Venus; the Deity of the Cuthim. [141] Pocock's and Norden's Travels, and maps of the country about Cairo. [142] Colchis, near Comar.

Vita Apollon. l. 3. p. 155. [144] The Petra and Pagoda were the same: both names for temples. [145] This mistake arose from Cal-Chus being styled the region of the Cuthim. [146] Scholia upon Pindar. Pyth. Ode 4. p. 259. [147] Ibid. Isth. Ode 5. p. 462. [148] Sanchoniathon apud Euseb: Praep. Evan. l. 1. c. 10. p. 35. [149] Ibid. [150] Lucian de Electro. vol. 2. p. 523. Edit. Salmurii. [151] Ovid.
