He says that this Ghiysa waa (m the sea, and had a port, and a temple cf Smintheos, but that it was deserted in his time, and the temple was transferred to the other Chrysa. There is, however, little weight in Strabo's argument, nor is the matter worth dis- cussion. [G. L.] GHRYSA'ORIS (Xpv<raopis: Eth.Xpwraopt^s),& town of Caria, afterwards called Idrias. Accordmg to Apollonius, in his Oarica (Steph. B. s. v.), it was the first city of those founded by the Lycians. Ac- cording to Epaphroditns, all Caria was called Chiy- saoris. Herodotus (t. 1 18) mentions a district in Caria, named Idrias, in which the Marsyas of Caria had its source. It has beoi conjectured that Antio- chus built his city Stratoniceia at or near the site of this old town Chrysaoris or Idrias. [G. L.] CHRYSACRIUM.

Dionysius of Byzautium, in his Anaplus of the Bosporus, says that it was called Chiysopolis either because the Persians made it the place of deposit for the gold which they collected from the cities, or from Chryses, a son of Agamemnon and Chryseis. Polybius (iv. 44) says &at those who intend to cross from Chalcedon to Byzantium cannot make a straight course on account of the current which comes down the Bosporus, but they make an oblique course to the promontory Btis, and the place called Chiysopolis, which the Athenians having seized by the advice of Alcibiades, set the first ex- ample of levying tolls on vessels bound for the Pon- tus ; and those which sailed out of it too.

The town was one of considerable importance, and situated on an eminence near lake ^ulcas, at an equal distance between the rivers Dravus and Savus, on the high road leading from Mursa to iSmiiuiD. It was the birthplace of the emperor Valentanian (Amm. Marc. xxx. 7, 24), and in its vicinity Coo- stantine, in a. d. 314, gained a decisive victoiy over Licinianus.
