 | | The southwestern Cappadocian cities of Nevsehir, Aksaray, Nidge, Bor and Kemerhisar/Tyana would be south of the river and not within those boundaries of Cappadocia proper. |
 | | Ariarathes, the first man who had the title of King of the Cappadocians, attached Cataonia to Cappadocia (Strabo, p.534, in whose text there is some little confusion, but it does not affect the general meaning; Groskurd's note on the passage is not satisfactory). |
 | | The native Cappadocians seem originally to have belonged to the Syrian stock: and since Ptolemy (v.6) places the cities of Iconium [modern Konya, RS] and Derbe within the limits of this region, we may possibly obtain from this circumstance some light on "the speech of Lycanoia", Acts xiv.11. |
