HERMONACTIS VICUS
HERMONACTIS VICUS (
Ἑρμώνακτος Κώμη,
Strab. vii. p.306;
Ptol. 3.10.14), a place in Sarmatia Europaea, near the mouth of the Tyras, where was the tower of Neoptolemus (Strab.
l.c. comp. Anon.
Peripl. p. 10), perhaps a lighthouse.
In this neighbourhood, not long since, the remains of an old tower were found. (Köler,
Mém. de l'Acad. de St. Petersb. vol. x. p. 580.)
