SIGION (Ancient city) TROAS
Mastusia (Mastousia akra: Capo Greco), the promontory at the southern extremity
of the Thracian Chersonesus, opposite to Sigeum. A little to the east of it was
the town of Elaeus. (Ptol. iii. 12. § 1; Plin. iv. 18; Mela, ii. 21; Tzetz. ad
Lycoph. 534, where it is called Maxousia.) The mountain in Ionia, at the foot
of which Smyrna was built, likewise bore the name of Mastusia. (Plin. v. 31.)
