Stephane (Paphlagonia)
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Stephane (Ancient Greek: Στεφάνη) was a small port town on the coast of ancient Paphlagonia, according to Arrian 180 stadia east of Cimolis,[1] but according to Marcian of Heraclea only 150.[2] The place was mentioned as early as the time of Hecataeus of Miletus as a town of the Mariandyni, under the name of Stephanis (Στεφανίς).[3] The town is also mentioned in the Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax and by the geographer Ptolemy.[4] The name is written Stefano in the Peutinger Table.[5]
Its site is located near Istifan, Asiatic Turkey.[6][7]
