CONOPEIUM
CONOPEIUM (
Κονωπεῖον or
Κονώπιον). East of the mouth of the Halys, Arrian (p. 16) mentions a marsh and port Naustathmus, 90 stadia from the Halys, or 120 according to Marcian. Fifty stadia further along the coast Arrian places Conopeium, a marsh.
The site seems to be
Koumjaas, on the coast SE. of the mouth of the Halys or
Kizil Irmak. Hamilton (
Researches, vol. i. p. 293) makes Conopeium 16 miles from Amisus (
Samsun), which is to the south, and about 5 miles from Naustathmus, which is to the north.
