Note (39) — Chapter V · OF THE ANCIENT PLACES ON THE SOUTHERN COAST OF ASIA MINOR.
Reading edition
Mopsuestia is represented to have stood on the Pyramus[290]. Its name under the Byzantine empire was corrupted to Mampsysta, or Mamista, or Mansista[291]; of which names the modern Mensís appears to be a further corruption. This town stands on the Ghihún, on the road from Baiás to A´dana, nearly at the distance from each at which the Jerusalem Itinerary places Mansista. The Peutinger Table, also, places Mopsuesta at 19 M. P. from A´dana. We cannot doubt, therefore, that Mensis occupies nearly, if not exactly, the site of the ancient city of Mopsus.
