Psyllium (Bithynia)
...Ancient fortified emporium
Psyllium or Psyllion (Ancient Greek: Ψύλλιον), or Psylleium or Psylleion (Ψύλλειον), or Psillium or Psillion, or Psylla (Ψύλλα),[1] was a fortified emporium on the coast of ancient Bithynia located on the Pontus Euxinus between Crenides and Tium.[2][3] The Tabula Peutingeriana erroneously calls it Scylleum.
Its site is located near Ağva in Asiatic Turkey.[4][5]
