The Chadisius or Chadisios ( Ancient Greek: Χαδίσιος), or Chadisia (Χαδισία), was a river of ancient Pontus, near the mouth of which sat the town of Chadisia. [1] Menippus, in his Periplus of the two Ponti, quoted by Stephanus of Byzantium, says: "from the Lycastus to the village and river Chadisius is 150 stadia, and from the Chadisius to the river Iris 100 stadia." [2]
Modern scholars identify the Chadisius with the modern Abdal Dere or Abdal Çayı in Samsun Province, Asiatic Turkey. [3]
