Barrington Atlas: BAtlas 56 F3 *Nakrason?
The Barrington Atlas Directory notes: Maltepe?, Bakır?, Ilyaslar?
Dinç (1997:270) states that Ramsay identified this place with the prehistoric mound called Maltepe. Cohen (1995) summarizes ancient evidence and prior modern bibliography, but advances no preference among the three location proposals that are also reflected in BAtlas and in this record.
