Armene

Armene (Ancient Greek: Ἀρμένη^[1] or Ἁρμένη or Ἀρμήνη^[2]) was an ancient Greek city^[3] on the Black Sea coast of ancient Paphlagonia.^[4][1] Xenophon in his Anabasis writes that the Ten Thousand on their return anchored their ships here, and stayed five days.^[2] The place belonged to the Sinopians. It was 50 stadia west of Sinope, and had a port.^[5] A small river, named Ochosbanes by Marcian of Heraclea,^[6] and named also Ochthomanes in the Anonymous Periplus, and Ocheraenus in the Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax, falls into the harbour.

Strabo writes that there was the proverb, "whoever had no work to do walled Armene."^[7]

Its site is located near Akliman in Asiatic Turkey.^[4][8]
