Tarsus
   the chief city of Cilicia. It was distinguished for its wealth
   and for its schools of learning, in which it rivalled, nay,
   excelled even Athens and Alexandria, and hence was spoken of as
   "no mean city." It was the native place of the Apostle Paul
   (Acts 21:39). It stood on the banks of the river Cydnus, about
   12 miles north of the Mediterranean. It is said to have been
   founded by Sardanapalus, king of Assyria. It is now a filthy,
   ruinous Turkish town, called Tersous. (See PAUL.)
