Scydises

SCYDISES (Σκυδίσης), a chain of rugged mountains in the east of Pontus, which was connected in the north with the Moschici Montes on the east, and with Mons Paryadres on the north-west, while in the south-west it was connected with Antitaurus. (Strab. 11. p. 497, 12. p. 548; Ptol. 5.6.8, where it is called Σκορδίσκος.) Modern travellers identify it with the Tshambü Bel (Wiener Jahrbücher, vol. 105. p. 21.)
