KIOS (Ancient city) TURKEY
Bebryces (Bebrukes, their country Bebrukia). A nation on the Pontus
in Asia. Stephanus (s. v. Busnaioi) also mentions the Bysnaei as a tribe of Bebryces.
Strabo (p. 295) supposes the Bebryces to have been of Thracian stock, and that
their first place of settlement in Asia was Mysia. Dionysius Periegetes (805;
and see the commentary of Eustathius) places the Bebryces where the river Cius
enters the Propontus, that is, about the Gulf of Cius. Eratosthenes (Plin. v.
30) enumerates the Bebryces among the Asiatic nations that had perished. In fact,
the Bebryces belong to mythology rather than to history.
