Embatum

Embatum or Embaton (Ancient Greek: τὸ Ἔμβατον) was a town of ancient Ionia, in the territory of Erythrae, mentioned by Theopompus in the eighth book of his Hellenica.[1] It appears from Thucydides that it was on the coast.[2]

Its site is located near the modern Agrilya, Asiatic Turkey.[3][4]
