Zygopolis

Zygopolis (Ancient Greek: Ζυγόπολις) was a town of ancient Pontus, in the neighbourhood of Colchis mentioned by Strabo.[1] Stephanus of Byzantium conjectures that it was in the territory of the Zygii, which, however, does not agree with Strabo's description.[2]

Its site is unlocated.[3]
