Road station

In Cilissa

In Cilissa may not have been a place at all. The name looks like a garbled 'in Cilicia', and the Ravenna list, which drew on the same source as the map, mangles it further into Ingilissis, so the slip was already in that source. Perhaps the words once belonged to the stop before, as a note telling that Larissa apart from its many namesakes. Older research instead took the entry for a real station, on the pass where a Roman road crossed the Koş Dağ at 1680 metres. Beyond it the stretch on to Comana is drawn as two, with an empty bend in the middle.
