Английская Википедия:Caresene
Caresene or Karesene (Шаблон:Lang-grc) was a mountainous tract in the ancient Troad, which contained many villages, and was well cultivated.[1] It bordered on the Dardanice as far as the parts about Zeleia and Pityeia. It was named from the Caresus River, mentioned by Homer in the Iliad,[2] which flows into the Aesepus River. The Caresus has a considerable valley (αὐλῶν), but less than that of the Aesepus. Strabo says that the Andrius or Andirus River (the modern Kursak Çay),[3] which flows into the Scamander River, also rises in the Caresene, part of which is therefore probably a high plateau, on which the Andrius and Caresus rise. The Caresus springs between Palaescepsis and Achaeum, which is opposite to the island of Tenedos. There was a city Caresus, but it was ruined before Strabo's time.[1]
