Abbassus

Abbassus or Ambasum (Latin: Abbassus [Livy xxxviii. 15.] ; polytonic|Ἄμβασον [Steph. B. "s. v."] ), was an ancient town of Phrygia, on the frontiers of the Tolistoboii, in Galatia. [Liv. xxxviii. 15.] It is, perhaps, the same as the "Alamassus" reported by of Hierocles, [Hierocles, p. 678] and the "Amadasse" whose bishops attended early church councils. The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World note that its probable location is near Synnada [Barrington|62 & p. 966] , however its precise location is not known.
