Erana (Cilicia)

Erana was a town of ancient Cilicia. Cicero, after leaving Epiphaneia, ascended the Amanus, and he took Erana, a place not of the character of a village, but of a city, and the capital of the nation.[1] He also took Sepyra and Commoris. The sites of these places are unknown, but they were in eastern Cilicia, on some part of Mount Amanus.
