Book 12
3.8
Some writers say that both Antenor and his sons participated in this expedition, and settled at the inner recess of the gulf of Adria, as we have said in the description of Italy.B. v. c. i. § 4. It is probable that this was the cause of the extinction of the Heneti, and that they were no longer to be found in Paphlagonia.
3.9
The boundary of the Paphlagonians to the east is the river Halys, which flows from the south between the Syrians and the Paphlagonians; and according to Herodotus,Herod. i. 6. (who means Cappadocians, when he is speaking of Syrians,) discharges itself into the Euxine Sea. Even at present they are called Leuco-Syrians, (or White Syrians,) while those without the Taurus are called Syrians. In comparison with the people within the Taurus, the latter have a burnt complexion; but the former, not having it, received the appellation of Leuco-Syrians (or White Syrians). Pindar says that the Amazons commanded a Syrian band, armed with spears with broad iron heads; thus designating the people that lived at Themiscyra.About the Thermodon, now Termeh. Themiscyra belongs to the Amiseni,The country about Samsoun. and the district of the Amiseni to the Leuco-Syrians settled beyond the Halys.
