LARISSA (Ancient city) TURKEY
A town in the territory of Ephesus, on the north bank of the Caystrus,
which there flows through a most fertile district, producing an excellent kind
of wine. It was situated at a distance of 180 stadia from Ephesus, and 30 from
Tralles. (Strab. ix. p. 440, xiii. p. 620.) In Strabo's time it had sunk to the
rank of a village, but it was said once to have been a Polis, with a temple of
Apollo. Cramer (As. Min. i. p. 558) conjectures that its site may correspond to
the modern Tirieh.
Larissa Ephesia, a city of Lydia, in the plain of the Cayster.
