PHRYGIA, an extensive country of the Hither Asia, on this side mount Taurus, and the river Halys. Reckoned by the ancients twofold, viz. the Greater and Less, (Livy, Ptolemy.) The Less Phrygia seems to have consisted of two parts; one nearer the Hellefont, from which it is called Hellefontiaca: the other, which was to the south of Bithynia, about Olympus, more remote from the Hellefont, and under the dominion of Prusias; but which was afterwards ceded to the Attali, or to Eumenes, by them called Epictetos; which in a laxer sense denotes the Minor Phrygia, or the Less; but in a stricter, is distinct from the Phrygia on the Hellefont, and lies at the foot of Olympus, a mountain of Mylia, on the confines of Bithynia: so that we have three Phrygias; Major, Minor, and Epictetos.
