Ochras was a town of ancient Cappadocia mentioned by the Antonine Itinerary. Ptolemy mentions a place Odogra or Odoga, in the district of Chammanene in Cappadocia, between the Halys River and Mount Argaeus, [1] which William Smith conjectured was possibly the same as Ochras. Modern scholars do not accept the equivalence. [2]
Its site is tentatively located near Kalkancık Hüyük, Asiatic Turkey. [2] [3]
