Munro, “Modern and Ancient Roads in Eastern Asia Minor,” _Royal
Geographical Society, Supplementary Papers_, vol. iii. part 5
(London, 1893), pp. 653 _sq._ As to the Cilician pirates see Strabo,
xiv. 5. 2, pp. 668 _sq._; Plutarch, _Pompeius_, 24; Appian, _Bellum
Mithridat._ 92 _sq._; Dio Cassius, xxxvi. 20-24 [3-6], ed. L.
Dindorf; Cicero, _De imperio Cn. Pompeii_, 11 _sq._; Th. Mommsen,
_Roman History_ (London, 1868), iii. 68-70, iv. 40-45, 118-120. As
to the crests carved on their towns see J. T. Bent, “Cilician
Symbols,” _Classical Review_, iv. (1890) pp. 321 _sq._ Among these
crests are a club (the badge of Olba), a bunch of grapes, the caps
of the Dioscuri, the three-legged symbol, and so on. As to the
cedars and ship-building timber of Cilicia in antiquity see
Theophrastus, _Historia Plantarum_, iii. 2. 6, iv. 5. 5. The cedars
and firs have now retreated to the higher slopes of the Taurus.
Great destruction is wrought in the forests by the roving Yuruks
with their flocks; for they light their fires under the trees, tap
the firs for turpentine, bark the cedars for their huts and
bee-hives, and lay bare whole tracts of country that the grass may
grow for their sheep and goats. See J. T. Bent, in _Proceedings of
the Royal Geographical Society_, N.S. xii. (1890) pp. 453-458.
