POLY´BOTUS
POLY´BOTUS (
Πολύβοτος), a place in the west of Phrygia Major, a little to the south-east of Synnada, is mentioned only by Hierocles (p. 677) and a few Byzantine writers (Procop.
Hist. Arc. 18; Anna Comnen. p. 324; Concil. Nicaen. ii. p. 358), who, however, do not give the name correctly, but call it Polybatus or Polygotus. Col. Leake (
Asia Min. p. 53) identifies the site of Polybotus with the modern
Bulwudun, which he regards as only a Turkish corruption of the ancient name.
