Iconium is mentioned as a station by Xenophon, and by Strabo, with an ambiguous title of
(Cellarius, tom. ii. p. 121).
Yet St. Paul found in that place a multitude
of Jews and Gentiles.
Under the corrupt name of Kunijah, it is described as a great city, with a river and garden,
three leagues from the mountains, and decorated (I know not why) with Plato's tomb
(Abulfeda, tabul. xvii. p. 303 vers. Reiske; and the Index Geographicus of Schulrens from Ibn Said.).
