Adramyttium ADRAMY'TTIUM
ADRAMY'TTIUM or ADRAMYTE'UM ('ASpa- fj.vTTtoi', 'ASpajuuTTeiov, J ATpafj.vmov, ^Arpa/jLVT- reiov: Eth. 'ASpa^uuTTTjrds, Adramyttenus : Adra- mitl or Edremit'), a town situated at the head of the bay, called from it Adramyttenus, and on the river Caicus, in Mysia, and on the road from the Helles- pontus to Pergamum. According to tradition it was founded by Adramys, a brother of Croesus, king of Lydia ; but a colony of Athenians is said to have sub- sequently settled there. (Strab. p. 606.) The place certainly became a Greek town. Thucydides (v. 1 ; viii. 108) also mentions a settlement here from Delos, made by the Delians whom the Athenians removed from the island B. c. 422. After the establishment of the dynasty of the kings of Per- gamum, it was a seaport of some note; and that it had some shipping, appears from a passage in the Acts of the Apostles (27.2). Under the Romans it was a Conventus Juridicus in the province of Asia, or place to which the inhabitants of the district resorted as the court town. There are no traces of ancient remains.
