On Barrington Atlas Map 64, Mitford tentatively followed earlier scholars in identifying Melik Şerif with ancient "Chorsabia"/"Carsa(g)is", but in 2018 he rejects this view on the basis of his reconstruction of the road system and analysis of the itineraries, preferring instead to identify it as "Haris". Sinclair 2020 does not seem to be aware of Mitford 2018, but offers a third view, based on his own reconstruction of the road system and analysis of the itineraries. Sinclair would identify "Haris" with Cengarli to the south and Melikşerif with "Dracones"/"Dracontes" or perhaps "Elegarsina."
