Κύδραραν: identified by Radet (Lydie, p. 324 f.) with the Caraura of Strabo (578), on the boundary of Phrygia and Caria, but the name is interchangeable with Hydrela (Liv. xxxvii. 56), the variation of ρ and λ being common. If so, it lay north of the Lycus, and southeast of the Maeander near Hierapolis (Steph. Byz.). A position in the valley of the Lycus, just before it joins the Maeander, suits H.'s narrative (Ramsay, C. and B. 85, 172-5).
