STEPHANE
STEPHANE (
Στεφάνη), a small port town on the coast of Paphlagonia, according to Arrian (
Peripl. P. E. p. 15) 180 stadia east of Cimolis, but according to Marcian (p. 72) only 150.
The place was mentioned as early as the time of Hecataeus as a town of the Mariandyni (
Steph. B. sub voce Στεφανίς), under the name of Stephanis. (Comp.
Scylax, p. 34;
Ptol. 5.4 § 2.)
The modern village of
Stephanio or
Estifan probably occupies the site of the ancient Stephane.
