SOANDA
SOANDA or
SOANDUM (
Σόανδα or
Σόανδον), a castle of Cappadocia, between Therma and Sacoena. (
Strab. xiv. p.663;
It. Ant. p. 202.)
The same place seems to be alluded to by Frontinus (3.2.9), who calls it Suenda. Hamilton (
Researches, ii. p. 286, foil.) identifies it with
Ssoghanli Dere, a place situated on a rock, about 8 miles on the south-west of
Karahissar, but other geopraphers place it in a different locality.
