Özet:

In his manifold studies, Sencer Şahin was also activ in the field of Historical Geography and has made proposals also for the solution of difficult problems. This is also the aim of the pres­ent study. In the valley of the Harpasos (now Akçay Deresi) near Bargasa, the toponym of Amas­ya hints at an ancient settlement named Amaseia, where there are also ruins. Anastasiupolis is prob­ably to be identified with Bargylia, in the surroundings of which milestones of the Emperor Anas­tasios I were found. In Caria, the name of Hiera Kome occurs several times. In the Türbe Ovası near Labraunda, Hiera Kome is attested too in inscriptions. Livius mentiones it with a temple of Apol­lo. Lince, a road station of the Tabula Peutingeriana between Ephesos and Milet must be ident­ical with Herakleia at the Latmos, the most important city on the inland road from Ephesos to Milet. Markianupolis is surely the same as the bishopric of Markiane in Lycia, which lay near the Carian border. Karia (now Geyre) was frequently used as another name for Aphrodisias (Stau­ru­polis). On the basis of hints in numerous inscriptions of Mylasa, as well as in hagiographical texts, Omba is probably to be located at Beçin Kalesi. The Ombianon Pedion also lay between Beçin and Mylasa. Tantalos lay on a hill near the village of Dandalas. Trobalissos is probably ident­ical with the Kuyruklu Kalesi.
