SOLI (mod. Mezetlii)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 360 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SOLI (mod. Mezetlii) , an ancient town of
Asia
 
Minor
 , on the
coast
  of Cilicia, between the rivers Lamus and Pyramus, from each of which it is about 62 m. Colonists from Argos in
Greece
  and Lindus in Rhodes are described as the founders of the town, which is first mentioned at the time of the expedition of the younger Cyrus. In the 4th century B.C. it was so wealthy that Alexander exacted a fine of 200 talents. In the Mithradatic War,
Soli
  was destroyed by
Tigranes
 , but it was subsequently rebuilt by Pompey, who settled. there many of the pirates whom he had captured, and called the town Pompeiopolis.
Soli
  was the birthplace of Chrysippus the Stoic and of the poets Philemon and Aratus. The bad Greek spoken there gave rise to the
term
  QoXouao e6s, solecism, which has found its way into all the modern languages of Europe. The ruins, which lie on the right bank of the Mezetlii Su have been lately plundered to
supply
  building material for Mersina, and little remains except part of the colonnade which flanked the main
street
  leading to the harbour. The place is easily reached from Mersina by carriage in about 1
hours
 . (D. G. H.)
