[1350] Granting to Priam the sovereignty of the districts just mentioned by Strabo, his dominion extended over a country about twenty maritime leagues in length and the same in breadth. It would be impossible to determine the exact limits of these different districts, but it is seen that
The Trojans, properly so called, occupied the basin of the Scamander (Menderes-Tschai).
The Cilicians, commanded by Eetion, occupied the territory which surrounds the present Gulf of Adramytti.
The Cilicians of Mynes were to the south of the above.
The Leleges extended along a part of the northern coast of the Gulf of Adramytti, from Cape Baba.
The Dardanians were above the Trojans, and the chain of Ida. On the north, extending on both sides of the Hellespont, were the people of Arisbe, Sestos, and Abydos.
The people of Adrasteia occupied the Propontis, as far as the Granicus.
The Lycians, the country beyond, as far as the Æsepus and Zeleia.
Strabo mentioned a ninth (c. i. § 2) principality subject to Priam; he does not mention it by name, or rather it is wanting in the text. M. de Choiseul-Gouffier, (Voyage Pittoresque de la Grèce, vol. ii.,) with much probability, thinks that this principality was that of the island of Lesbos. Gossellin.
