Anatolia's District of
Adana
Steward:
Position is currently vacant
Its name is derived from a Hittite city. In the Iliad of Homer, the city is called Adana. In Hellenistic times, it was known as Antiochia in Cilicia (Greek: Αντιόχεια της Κιλικίας) or Antiochia ad Sarum (Greek: Αντιόχεια η προς Σάρον; "Antiocia on the Sarus"). The editors of The Helsinki Atlas tentatively identify Adana as Quwę (as contained in cuneiform tablets), the Neo-Assyrian capital of Quwę province. The name also appears as Coa, and may be the place, as referred to in the Bible, where King Solomon obtained horses. (I Kings 10:28; II Chron. 1:16).
If you have any questions about this 'hood, or would like something added or changes, please leave a message with Samdzimari Scyles. She is the Steward of the Transcaucasus neighborhood. Thank you!
