INEBOLI , a town on the north coast
Asia
Minor , 70 M. W. of Sinai
Constantinople , being the port for the districts of Changra and Kastamuni, and connected with the latter town by a carriage road (see KASTAMUNI). The roadstead is exposed, having no protection
long , so that in rough weather landing is impracticable. The exports (chiefly wool and mohair) Ire about 248,000 annually and the imports 200,000. The population is about 9000 (Moslems 7000,Christians 2000). Ineboli represents the ancient Abonou-teichos, famous as the birthplace of the false prophet Alexander, who established there (2nd century A.D.) an oracle of the snake-God Glycon-Asclepius. This impostor, immortalized by Lucian, obtained leave from the emperor Marcus Aurelius to change the name of the town to lonopolis, whence the modern name is derived (see ALEXANDER THE PAPHLAGONIAN).End of Article: INEBOLI If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
