[1320] Kamaraes, or Kemer. (Kamar, Arab. the Moon.)
[1321] Near Mussatsch-Koi.
[1322] Il. xiv. 283.
[1323] The passage in brackets Meineke suspects to be an interpolation, as Rhesus and Heptaporus cannot be placed in this part of Ida, nor do any of the streams mentioned by Homer in the same passage flow into the Ægean Sea.
[1324] Il. xii. 19.
[1325] Il. ii. 824.
[1326] The whole range of Ida now bears various names: the highest summit is called Kas-dagh. Gossellin says that the range is called Kara-dagh, but this name (black mountain) like Karasu (Black river) and Kara-Koi (Black village) are so commonly applied that they amount to no distinction; in more modern maps this name does not appear. It may be here observed that the confusion of names of those parts in the Turkish empire which were formerly under the Greeks, arises from the use of names in both languages.
[1327] Il. xiv. 292.
[1328] The Gulf of Edremid or Jalea, the ancient Elæa.
[1329] The meridian, according to our author’s system, passing through Constantinople, Rhodes, Alexandria, Syene, and Meröe.
