Note (36) — Chapter V · OF THE ANCIENT PLACES ON THE SOUTHERN COAST OF ASIA MINOR.
Reading edition
The Cydnus, instead of flowing through Tarsus, as in former times[278], leaves the present city to the westward, and no longer forms the lake towards its mouth, which once served as a naval arsenal to Tarsus. The alluvion of the river itself has converted this lake into a sandy plain.
