houses; and on the southern, the more extensive level tract,
which contains, towards the east, Eski-Shehr, a town of 900
houses, with natural hot-baths on the site of Dorylaeum; 1
towards the west Bazavik and Sultan Ohi or In-6ghi, once
the capital, a small place situated under vast precipices, con
taining sepulchral chambers. 2 Towards the north-western
limits of Kermiyan are the A'yanliks of Taushanlii, Mohimoul,
Oranjik, and near the last, the ruins of Azani, where a chaste
Ionian temple overlooks a theatre, a gymnasium, three bridges,
a colonnade, with tombs, and other striking remains: these
are at Chapdar, a Turkish village of 100 houses.
Nearly 22 miles E.N.E. from thence is Kutahiyah, with
an extensive castle, which is partly ancient, and occupies a
high hill close to the S.S.W. side; this castle is pro
bably on the site of Cotyseium. The city is at the entrance
of a valley, and at the foot of the Poorsal Tagh, on the western
side of the plain. It contains the usual proportion of mosques,
khans, baths, fountains, bazars, and about 10,000 houses with
tiled roofs like those of European Turkey; subterraneous
aqueducts run beneath the streets. It is the usual residence
of the Vezir of Anadoli, but Kutahiyah and its 32 dependent
villages are under a Musellim.
South-east of the capital are' the interesting Phrygian
remains with inscriptions, and the Troglodyte habitations of
Doganlu, probably ancient Nacoleia ; 3 southward is the A'yan-
Aituu Tash, lik of Altun-Tash; and to the south-west those of Gediz, a
picturesque town on the borders of Mysia, with a striking
mosque; and 'Ushak, a still larger place, which is celebrated
lor the best manufactory of Turkey carpets. 4 At the eastern
side of the district, near the borders of that of Afiyum Kara-
J^ar, are the Aghaliks of Segicler, ancient Sebaste, 5 and
Ishekli (Eumenia), 6 a picturesque little town.
