Quote | “The Lion’s map included near neighbors too, the whole Bithynia from Propontis with its capital – Nicomedia, a free Greek city – Heraclea, Amastria, lost again now –and generally Paphlagonia, then again, the capital of Pontus – Sinope, the whole valley of the river Halys, the ancient capital – Amaseia and a good port Amisus, inside the country – inner Cappadocia up to the town of Mazaka. Beyond Trabzon the Sea Lion’s hide was ending and Colchians had attached to it two sheep-Fleece maps. In one of them Athens, Apsaris, Batu, Poti – Phasis, Dioscurias and Bichvinta were indicated on the coast-line and in the second – Caucasus and Rion-Phasis” (pg. 159) |
