Notes
- Claudius Ptolemy 6.3.5 lists a city Abinna in what would be present-day Iran.
Note also Abinna as the name of a headland, in 'Libya', according to Philostratus (Life of Apollonius of Tyana 5.1) -- which is in fact Mt. Abila in Mauretania, the African side of the "Pillars of Heracles"; present-day Spanish-owned Monte Acho (Barrington Atlas map 28 grid D2).
