Note (6) — 29.—In which countries I have been, that lay between the Tonow and the sea.

J. Buchan (John Buchan) Telfer translation

(6.) “Maganasa”.—Magnesia was styled “ad Sipylum”, to distinguish it from Magnesia “ad Mæandrum”, the remains of which have been discovered near a village called Aïneh-bazar, distant sixteen miles from Ephesus. The former, the Manissa of the Turks, near the Hermus at the foot of Mount Sipylus, has ever been a city noted for its extent, commerce, and population.—Bruun.
