THY´NIAS (Mela 2.2.5;
Plin. Nat. 4.11. s. 18;
Θυνίας,
Strabo vii. p.319, xii. p. 541:
Scymn. 727; Arrian. Per. P. Eux. p 24; Anon. Per. P. Eux. p. 15;
Ptol. 3.11.4;
Steph. B. sub voce a promontory on the Thracian coast of the Euxine, N. of Salmydessus, which was probably at one time in the territories of the Thyni, although Strabo (
vii. p.319) speaks of the district as belonging to the people of Apollonia. Pliny (
l.c.) mentions a town of the same name, which in some maps is placed a little to the south of the promontory, on the site of the modern
Inada or Iniada; but which, according to Dapper (
de l'Arohip. p. 515), is still called
Thinno. [
