THYMBRARA
THYMBRARA (
Θύμβραρα), a place near Sardes, not far from the small river Pactolus, at which the contingents of the Persian army furnished by the inhabitants of Asia Minor used to assemble. (
Xen. Cyrop. 6.2. 11,
7.1.45;
Steph. B. sub voce Some are inclined to identify this place with Thybarna, mentioned by Diodorus Siculus (14.80); but this latter place could hardly be said to be situated on, or even near the Pactolus.
