Carseae

Carseae or Karseai (Ancient Greek: Κάρσεαι), or Careseae or Kareseai (Καρησέαι),[1] also known as Karseis or Kerasai or Kerateis,[2] was a town of ancient Mysia or of Lydia, cited by Polybius.[3] King Attalus I, with some Galatae, made an incursion against this place, and he reached them after crossing the Lycus River; afterward he attacked Didymateiche. There is some probability that the place which is meant is the Caresus of Strabo; and there is nothing in the narrative of Polybius that is inconsistent with this supposition. This Lycus River is unknown.

Its site is unlocated.[2]
