Pamphylia

Pamphylia, anciently a country on the south coast of Asia Minor (q.v.), between Lycia and Cilicia. The inhabitants—a mixed race of aborigines, Cilicians, and Greek colonists—spoke a language the basis of which probably was Greek, but which was disfigured and corrupted by the infusion of barbaric elements. See Dr Lanckorowski, Die Städte Pamphyliens und Pisidiens (1890 et seq.).
