Notes
- Comparably, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon.
Abrettene is mentioned by Strabo and Arrian, amongst others. Its name is derived from the nymph Brettia (according to Stephanus of Byzantium s.v.), and it lay between the Rhyndakos and Makestos rivers in Asian Mysia (present-day Turkey): Barrington Atlas map 62 grid A2.
