Cillanius Campus

Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography

CILLA´NIUS CAMPUS(τὸ Κιλλάνιον), is mentioned by Strabo (p. 629) between the plain of Peltae, which is in Phrygia, and the plain of Tabae. It is difficult to say where he places it. Cramer (Asia Minor, vol. 2. p. 30) conjectures that it may be Cyllanticus tractusof Pliny (Plin. Nat. 5.42), in which passage the MSS. have Cyllanicus(Harduin‘s note), and it is not said why Cyllanticushas been placed in the text. The text of Pliny is hardly intelligible.
