SALMYDISSOS (Ancient city) THRACE AT PONTOS
Thynias (Mela ii. 2. § 5; Plin. iv. 11. s. 18; Thunias, Strabo vii.
p. 319, xii. p. 541: Scymn. 727; Arrian. Per. P. Eux. p 24; Anon. Per. P. Eux.
p. 15; Ptol. iii. 11. § 4; Steph. B. s. v.), a promontory on the Thracian coast
of the Euxine, N. of Salmydessus, which was probably at one time in the territories
of the Thyni, although Strabo (vii. p. 319) speaks of the district as belonging
to the people of Apollonia. Pliny (l. c.) mentions a town of the same name, which
in some maps is placed a little to the south of the promontory, on the site of
the modern Inada or Iniada; but which, according to Dapper (de l'Arohip. p. 515),
is still called Thinno.
