Χρυσόπολις

Chrysopolis: Chrysopolis, in Bithynia, near Chalcedon, on the right for one sailing up. Ephorus in the twenty-third book: "to hand over Chrysopolis of the Calchedonians to the allies". And Theopompus in the first book of the Hellenika: "they put out to Calchedon and Byzantium with the rest of the army, wishing to occupy Chrysopolis". Dionysius of Byzantium, writing the Voyage up the Bosporus, says the following about its name: "it is called Chrysopolis, as some say, because under the rule of the Persians the collection of the gold coming in from the cities was made there, but most say from Chrysos the son of Chryseis and Agamemnon". There is also another Chrysopolis of Cilicia, as the Polyhistor. The ethnonym 'Chrysopolites', as of 'Nikopolis' 'Nikopolites'.
