Ezene

Incesukahvesi? bei Kurupelit Hani?

Ezene is the Eusene of the Greek guides to the coast, a place between the mouth of the Halys and Amisos; an anonymous guide also calls it Dagalis. The map's form may simply be a mishearing. The geographer Ptolemy mistakenly moved it inland, and Arrian's distances are too large to pin it down, so it is sought either at the mouth of the Incesu or a little further south near Kurupelit Hani. The Ravenna list writes Ezene too, once with an extra A in front.
