Coriopio

? ? Dağ Pazarı ? (oder Sinaciç ?)

Coriopio is a garbled form of Koropissos, and the slip is old: the Ravenna list, which drew on the same source as the map, has Corripion. Koropissos was a town of Isauria that called itself the leading city of the Ketis on its coins, from Hadrian to Valerian, and its bishop Athenais attended the Council of Nicaea in 325. It probably lay at Dağ Pazarı, where mosaic inscriptions name bishops and the remains include a stadium. The map's distances here are too short, probably because two stations between it and Paduando have dropped out, and the red road line is missing.
