ΑΒΟΝΥΤΕΙΧΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΚΤΗ ΕΥΞΕΙΝΟΥ ΠΟΝΤΟΥ
A minor city, presumably an Ionian foundation, halfway along the inhospitable Paphlagonian shore of the Black Sea (Pontus Euxinus). It achieved full civic status in the 1st c. A.D. and adopted the name Ionopolis under Marcus Aurelius. Its only claim to fame (considerable at the time) was as the seat of the bogus oracle set up by the charlatan Alexander (Luc. Pseudomantis). Traces of ancient walls have been recorded on the acropolis, and architectural fragments are common in the town.

A titular see in the province of Paphlagonia,
suffragan of Gangres. The city was founded by a colony from Miletus
already established at Sinope,
and at first took the name of Abonouteichos.
There, in the second century A.D., was born the false prophet Alexander,
who caused the erection of a large temple to Apollo, and thus secured rich revenues.
The city was afterwards called Ionopolis.
Le Quien mentions eight bishops between 325 and 878; it had others
since then, for the see is mentioned in the later “Notitiae episcopatuum.”
Ionopolis, to-day called
Ineboli, is a Black Sea port,
numbering 9000 inhabitants, 1650 of whom are Greek schismatics, and 230 Armenians;
all the remainder are Turks. It is a caza of the sanjak and the vilayet of Castamouni,
and enjoys a very healthy and pleasant climate.
