The text of Leo the deacon, in the corrupt names of Emeta and Myctarsim, reveals the cities of Amida and Martyropolis (Mia farekin. See Abulfeda, Geograph. p. 245, vers. Reiske). Of the former, Leo observes,
urbus munita et illustris;
of the latter,
clara atque conspicua opibusque et pecore, reliquis ejus provinciis urbibus atque oppidis longe praestans.
