ASIA MINOR

[s. 72] : Originally confined to a small section on the border of the jUgean, the term has come to include that portion of Asiatic Turkey lying between the Black Sea on the north and the Mediterranean on the south, the Marmora and jEgean seas on the west, and the Euphrates Valley on the east. This last boundary is vague, AS the Euphrates is tortuous in its course. It is, 54 however, sufficiently accurate for practical purposes. See Turkey. 72
