MALLUS. A city of Cilicia which joined Tarsus in a rebellion against Antiochus Epiphanes about b.c. 171 ( 2Ma 4:30 ). Tradition said that it was founded at the time of the Trojan War. Its coinage shows that it was an important town. Its site is doubtful, but as ancient statements make it near the river Pyramus, near the sea, and also on a hill, Professor Ramsay identifies it with Kara-Tash , on a coast line of hills E. of Magarsa, which served as its port. The W. branch of the Pyramus has become almost completely dried up.

A. E. Hillard.
