SELEUCIA TRACHEOTIS, an important town of Cilicia, in
Seleucia-on-the-Tigris
Selinus
a fertile plain on the left bank of the Calycadmus, about 68 miles S.W. of Tarsus. It was well built, much superior in style to the other towns of the country, and attracted many to it on account of the beauty of its situation, as well as an oracle of Apollo which it possessed, and an annual festival which was held here. No historical event of any importance is connected with the name of Seleucia Tracheotis. Extensive remains of the ancient city still exist at a place called Selerkieh. Among these may be traced a theatre, temple, and other large buildings.
