Road station

Nastae

Harmanlı, ehem. Pavreli oder Pervari

Nastae, which the Ravenna list writes Nastar, may be a Latinised form of the name; both lists go back to a shared late Roman source. The station is placed at Harmanlı, once Pavreli, where in medieval and Ottoman times bridges below the village crossed the Göksu, best reached from Malatya. Another suggestion is Nurhak, east of Maraş, for its similar sound, which may be mere chance. The map gives only five to each neighbour, a figure that has been read as Persian parasangs rather than Roman miles.
