Ancient and modern authors seem to consider Cilicia a prosperous region
 that is captured well by the words of Xenophon, in regard to the expedition
 of Cyrus, when he descends into Cilicia; “to a large and beautiful plain,
 well-watered and full of trees of all sorts and vines; it produces an abundance of sesame, millet, panic, wheat, and barley, and it is surrounded on
 every side, from sea to sea, by a lofty and formidable range of mountains”
 (Anabasis, I,2,22). Then Cyrus marches to Tarsus, “a large and prosperous
 city, where the palace of Synnesis, the king of Cilicians, was situated, and
 through the middle of the city flows a river named the Cydnus, two plethra
 in width” (ibid 23).
