Mr. Pauly tells about a place called Tragasai (with eponym Tragasos) and says that there were salt mines.

Tur (tuz) means salt and we can eat above that the place is still called Tuzla (meaning saline). Sai means Old Turkic a small river (German Bach). 

Both words are compatible in sound and meaning with this Anatolian word (toponym).
