[14] Magnesia ad Sipylum, a qua magnes lapis ferrum attrahens nomen sortitus est; ut idem a Lydia Lydius, et ab Heraclea Heraclius dictus est. Hill in Dionys. Periegesin. Tho he seems to be mistaken in confounding this stone with the touchstone, or lapis Lydius.

Lapis hic ut ferrum ducere possit,

Quem magneta vocant patrio de nomine Graii,

Magnetum quia sit patriis in finibus ortus. L. vi. ℣. 608.

[17] Auri argentique mentionem comitatur lapis, quem coticulam appellant; quondam non solitus inveniri nisi in flumine Tmolo, nunc vero passim; quem alii Lydium, alii Heraclium vocant. Plin. Lib. xxxiii. cap. 8.

[18] Like what Aristides says: Ὁ φίλοινος οὐχ ἡγεῖται ζημίαν, εἰ μηδεὶς αὐτῷ πίνοντι συνείσεται. Orat. Platonic. prim. pag. 182. edit. P. Steph.

[19] Liv. Lib. xxxvii. cap. 44. Legati ab Thyatira et Magnesia ad Sipylum ad reddendas urbes venerunt, says this historian, immediately after the action betwixt Scipio and Antiochus. This action is at large described by Appian as well as Livy, as happening betwixt Thyatira and Sardis, upon the banks of the Amnis Phrygius, near Magnesia ad Sipylum; which is not the Hermus (as some have thought) but a river running into the Hermus, which Homer and Herodotus call Hyllus, as Strabo relates in the passage cited above, p. 9.
