COMANA (mod. Gumenek)

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 749 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
COMANA (mod. Gumenek) , an
ancient
  city of Pontus, said to have been colonized from Comana in Cappadocia. It stood on the river
Iris
  (Tozanli Su or Yeshil Irmak), and from its central position was a favourite emporium of Armenian and other merchants. The moon-goddess was worshipped in the city with a pomp and ceremony in all respects analogous to those employed in the Cappadocian city. The slaves attached to the temple alone numbered not less than 6000. St John Chrysostom died there on the way to
Constantinople
  from his
exile
  at Cocysus in the
Anti
 -Taurus. Remains of Comana are still to be seen near a
village
  called Gumenek on the Tozanli Su, 7 M. from
Tokat
 , but they are of the slightest description. There is a mound; and a few
inscriptions
  are built into a
bridge
 , which here spans the river, carrying the road from Niksar to
Tokat
 . (D. G. H.)
