     * Laodicea.
       Laodicea and Hierapolis were both cities of Phrygia in Asia
       Minor, between which, and equidistant from each, was situated
       Colosse.  Laodicea was seated near the Lycus, about 63; miles
       east of Ephesus; and became one of the largest and richest
       towns in Phrygia, vying in power with the maritime cities.  It
       is now called Eski-hissar, the old castle; and besides the
       whole surface within the city's wall being strewed with
       pedestals and fragments, the ruins of an amphitheatre, a
       magnificent odeum, and other public buildings, attest its
       former splendour and magnificence.  But, when visited by Dr.
       Chandler, all was silence and solitude; and a fox, first
       discovered by his ears peeping over a brow, was the only
       inhabitant of Laodicea.  Hierapolis, now Pambouk-Kaiesi, was
       situated, according to the Itinerary, six miles N. of
       Laodicea; and its ruins are now about a mile and a half in
       circumference.
