Argesis

? Siedlung und Mine bei Balya Maden

Argesis appears under this name only on the map and probably stands for Ergasteria, a settlement and mine near Balya Maden in Turkey, though the identification is uncertain. Place and road are attested from the 2nd century AD. On the onward stretch to Pergamon the road crosses a river, and the copyist drew this single stretch as two. The Ravenna list writes the name as Agressin.
