Lassora

Lassora is probably a slip for Laskoria, which Ptolemy lists among the towns of the Trocmi, the Galatian tribe of this region; the Ravenna list writes Lascora. The name may go back much further than the Celts: it has been linked with Taskuriya, a city named in Hittite cuneiform texts near Arinna, the forerunner of Tavium. Its site is unknown. The figure on to Stabiu reads seventeen, though older copies made it eighteen.
