Note 116
The text of Leo the deacon, in the corrupt
names of Emeta and Myctarsim, reveals the cities of Amida
and Martyropolis, (Mia farekin. See Abulfeda, Geograph. p.
245, vers. Reiske.) Of the former, Leo observes, urbus
munita et illustris; of the latter, clara atque conspicua
opibusque et pecore, reliquis ejus provinciis urbibus atque
oppidis longe praestans.]
