Cordyle or Kordyle ( Ancient Greek: Κορδύλη), also called Portus Chordyle, [1] was a town of ancient Pontus, on the Black Sea coast, 40 or 45 stadia east of Hieron Oros or Yoros. [2] [3] The name occurs in the Tabula Peutingeriana in the form Cordile. There appears to be some confusion in Ptolemy about this place. [4]
Its site is located near Akcakale in Trabzon Province at Turkey. [5] [6]
