Chadisius (river)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chadisius or Chadisios (Ancient Greek: Χαδίσιος), or Chadisia (Χαδισία), was a river of ancient Pontus, near the mouth of which sat the town of Chadisia.[1] Menippus, in his Periplus of the two Ponti, quoted by Stephanus of Byzantium, says: "from the Lycastus to the village and river Chadisius is 150 stadia, and from the Chadisius to the river Iris 100 stadia."[2]
Modern scholars identify the Chadisius with the modern Abdal Dere or Abdal Çayı in Samsun Province, Asiatic Turkey.[3]
