Summary
THE EXTENT OF THE TROJAN LAND. THE TROAD (ἡ Τρῳάς, sc. γὴ).

In interpreting the Homeric geography of the Troad, Strabo rightly says: “The coast of the Propontis extends from the district of Cyzicus, and the neighbourhood of the Aesepus and the Granicus, to Abydus and Sestus; the land around Ilium, and Tenedos, and Alexandria-Troas from Abydus to Lectum: but above all these lies the mountain-range of Ida, which extends to Lectum. But from Lectum to the river Caïcus and (the promontory of) Canae there follows the country around Assos, and Adramyttium, and Atarneus, and Pitane, and the Elaitic Gulf; opposite all of which stretches the island of the Lesbians: then follows immediately the district of Cyme, as far as the Hermus and Phocaea, which forms the beginning of Ionia and the end of Aeolis. Such being the localities, the poet gives us to understand that, from the district of the Aesepus and the present province of Cyzicene to the river Caïcus, the Trojan rule extended, divided into eight or even nine parts,  according to the dominions; but the mass of auxiliary troops is counted among the confederates.”
