Today considered the native Turkish dog, the golden-haired Kan-gal (“dog of the Galatians”) is native to the area northeast of Ankara and is believed to have been introduced by the original Celtic settlers of Galatia.

Echoed Voices: Celts in Asia Minor Famous Romans like Cicero and Marc Antony spoke out in his favor, and Deiotarus was able to keep his reign in Galatia, until his death in 40 B.C.

Deiotarus, a chief of the Tolistobogii tribe, began to take central leadership of the Celtic peoples in Galatia, and successfully defeated Pontus. www.echoedvoices.org /Jun2002/Celts_in_Asia_Minor.html   (2227 words)

Amyntas had ruled also parts of Phrygia, Pisidia, Lycaonia and Isauria.
