Mopsucrene

Mopsucrene or Mopsoukrene (Ancient Greek: Μόψου κρήνη) was a town in the eastern part of ancient Cilicia, on the river Cydnus, and not far from the frontier of Cataonia to which Ptolemy, in fact, assigns it. Its site was on the southern slope of Mount Taurus, and in the neighbourhood of the mountain pass leading from Cilicia into Cappadocia, 12 miles (19 km) north of Tarsus. Its site was likely the same as the settlement and mutatio of Mampsoukrenai or Mapsoukrenai, and known in Hellenic antiquity as Mópsou Krênae 'Fountains of Mopsus'.
