HARMATHUS
HARMATHUS (
Ἁρμαθοῦς,), a town on the north coast of the bay of Adramyttium, on the east of Cape Lectum; it is mentioned only by Thucydides (
8.101) as opposite to the town of Methymna in Lesbos.
It cannot have had any connection with Cape Amathus, which was situated much further south (
Strab. xiii. p.622), and is probably the same as Cape Canae. [
