The fortresses of the powerful maritime prince Zenicetes Olympus, Corycus, Phaselis in eastern Lycia, Attalia in Pamphylia were reduced, and the prince himself met his death in the flames of his stronghold Olympus.

Beatrix knew this and took heart, and the veil of estrangement was lifted between her and Gilbert. On the last day but one of the year he went before the King, who bade him mount again with his men and ride before the army through the passes of the Cadmus towards Attalia, seeking out the safest way and giving timely warning of the enemy.

So the pilgrimage went on in fighting and suffering, and as time passed the people were the more in earnest with themselves and with one another, looking forward to the promised forgiveness of sins when they should have accomplished their vows in the holy places. They came down at last from the mountains to the sea, to a place called Attalia.

Little by little, too, he had heard how all the poor pilgrims left at Attalia had perished; but he knew that if he had led them, Beatrix would have died there in the court of the little house in Jerusalem, and he held her life more dear than the lives of many, whom his own could hardly have saved.

But undeterred by stones and threats, we returned to Lystra and preached there again, and in Perga and Attalia, from thence we sailed to Antioch, and there were great rejoicings in Saigon Street, as we sat in the doorways telling of the churches that we founded in Galatia, and how we flung open the door of truth to the pagans, and how many had passed through.

The first city he entered was Attalia, in Pamphylia, and whilst he was there, there came some galleys thither to him out of Cilicia, together with a small body of soldiers, and he had almost sixty senators with him again; then hearing that his navy was safe too, and that Cato had rallied a considerable body of soldiers after their overthrow, and was crossing with them over into Africa, he began to complain and blame himself to his friends that he had allowed himself to be driven into engaging by land, without making use of his other forces, in which he was irresistibly the stronger, and had not kept near enough to his fleet, that failing by land, he might have reinforced himself from the sea, and would have been again at the head of a power quite sufficient to encounter the enemy on equal terms.

The fortresses of the powerful maritime prince Zenicetes Olympus, Corycus, Phaselis in eastern Lycia, Attalia in Pamphylia were reduced, and the prince himself met his death in the flames of his stronghold Olympus.

Louis, more fortunate, defeated the Turks on the banks of the Mender; but, being deprived of the support of Conrad, and his army being annoyed and partially beaten by the enemy in the passage of defiles, and being in want of supplies, he was confined to Attalia, on the coast of Pamphylia, where he endeavored to embark his army.

And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia: And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled. And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.

Then appointing them presbyters in every city, by prayer with fastings they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed. Then passing through Pisidia, they came unto Pamphylia. And having spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia: and thence sailed for Antioch, from whence they had been commended to the grace of God for the service which they had performed.
