And temples that have been established everywhere on this mountain are held by the Paphlagonians. And round it lies fairly good territory, both Blaene and Domanitis, through which latter flows the Amnias River. Here Mithridates Eupator utterly wiped out the forces of Nicomedes the Bithynian — not in person, however, since it happened that he was not even present, but through his generals.” From Strabo’s Geography 12.3.40{https://archive.org/stream/geographyofstrab05strauoft/geographyofstrab05strauoft_djvu.txt} (*Sinopis in the source was corrected to Sinope and *Faphlagonians [sic] to Paphlagonians)
