The Eyalet of Kermiyan, or Kutahiyali, occupies the central Limits of
part of Anadoli, having Sultan Oni and the Olympic chain Kerniiyan '
on the north, Kara-si, Saru-Khan, and Aidm on the west,
Afiyum Kara-hisar, and Hamid on the east and south-east,
with a part of the latter and Mentesha on the south. Its
western side is mountainous, being intersected by the chain of
the Murad Tagh and its numerous ramifications, which in
close the valleys of the Rhyndacus, Macestus, Hermus, and
Meeander. The western side consists chiefly of plains lying
along the upper branches of the Sangarius ; whilst the centre
is an extensive upland, of which the plain spreading in a
south-westerly direction, from the Kutahiyah beyond Altun
Tash, is nearly 50 miles long by 20 miles wide, and has an
elevation probably exceeding 4000 feet above the Black Sea.
The small Sanjaklik of Sultan Ohi, now a dependency of Sultan Ow.&c.
Kermiyan, lies along the southern slopes of the Olympic
chain, and is intersected by the wooded heights of Tomanji
Tagh (ancient Tmolus), on the northern side of which is th^e
plain and A'yanlik of Sogut or Shughut, a pretty town of 400
