Notes:
[1] On the southern shore of the Black Sea. See generally OCD4 s.v.
[2] Harpokration s.v. (from which this part of the entry derives) attributes this material to Herodicus,
People Satirized in Comedy (fr. 1 During; see generally OCD4 s.v.). The point of the change of name, or nickname, was evidently that
Abydos was a city in a more decrepit state than
Sinope.
