CHORUM

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 270 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHA-CHR
CHORUM , the
chief
  town of a sanjak of the
Angora
  vilayet in
Asia
 .
Minor
 , altitude 2300 ft., situated on the edge of a wide plain, almost equidistant from Amasia and Yuzgat. Pop. about 12,500, including a few Christians. Its importance is largely due to its situation on the
great
 
trade
 -route from Kaisarfeh (Caesarea) by Yuzgat and Marzivan to
Samsun
  on the Black Sea. It corresponds to the ancient Euchaita, which lay 15 M. E. Euchaiti was attacked by the Huns A.D. 508, and became a bishopric at an early period and a centre of religious enthusiasm, as containing the tomb of the revered St
Theodore
 , who slew a
dragon
  in the vicinity and became one of the
great
  warrior saints of the Greek Church. Something of the old enthusiasm seems to have passed to the inhabitants of Chbrum, whom most travellers have found bigoted and fanatical Mahommedans (see J. G. C:Anderson, Sludia Pontica, pp. 6 ff.).
