// Workers AI · dad joke modeWhat did Hyssus say to its friend? "You hiss-terical!

Hyssus, also spelled Hyssos (Ancient Greek: Ὕσσος) and known as Hyssi portus, or Susarmia (Σουσάρμια),[1] or Susurmaina (Σουσούρμαινα),[2] or Psoron Limen (Ψωρῶν λιμήν),[3] was a port-town of ancient Pontus on the Black Sea coast, at the mouth of the Hyssus River, 180 stadia east of Trapezus.[4][5] The Tabula Peutingeriana calls it Hyssilime. It seems to have been a place of some importance; for it was fortified, and had the "cohors Apuleia civium Romanorum" for its garrison.[6]

Its site is located near Araklıçarşısı in Asiatic Turkey.[7][3]
