Hyssus information

Hyssus or Hyssos (Ancient Greek: Ὕσσος), also known as Hyssi portus, or Susarmia or Sousarmia (Σουσάρμια),^[1] or Susurmaena or Sousourmaina (Σουσούρμαινα),^[2] was a port-town of ancient Pontus on the Black Sea coast, at the mouth of the Hyssus River, 180 stadia east of Trapezus.^[3]^[4] The Tabula Peutingeriana calls it Hyssilime. It seems to have been a place of some importance; for it was fortified, and had the "cohors Apuleia civium Romanorum" for its garrison.^[5] Other names borne by the town include Psoron Limen (Ψωρῶν λιμήν), Sousourmena, and Ysiporto.^[6]

Its site is located near Araklıçarşısı in Asiatic Turkey.^[7]^[6]
