Town in ancient Troad

Gergis (Ancient Greek:Γέργις), also known asGergithus (Γέργιθος) orGergitha (Γέργιθα) orGergithes (Γέργιθες), and laterKerge,[1] was a town inancient Troad, on the north of theScamander River. It was inhabited, according toHerodotus, by descendants of the mythicalTeucrians.[2] Herodotus also records that it was passed by thePersian army ofXerxes I on the way toAbydos in 480 BCE.[3] In the time ofXenophon Gergis is called a strong place;[4] it had an acropolis and strong walls, and was one of the chief towns of theDardanian princessMania.[5][6][7][8][9][10] King Attalus of Pergamus transplanted the inhabitants of Gergis to a place near the sources of theCaicus, whence we afterwards find a place calledGergetha or Gergithion, nearLarissa Phrikonis, in the territory ofCyme.[11] The old town of Gergis was believed by some to have been the birthplace of theSibyl, whence coins found there have the image of the prophetess impressed upon them.

Cephalion (Κεφαλίων) or Cephalon (Κεφάλων) of Gergis was a rhetor and historian during the reign ofHadrian. He left his city because of enmity with its rulers and went toSicily. He wrote many works inIonic Greek.[12]

A Cephalon of Gergis, author of aTroica, is mentioned as a very ancient historian byDionysius of Halicarnassus; Athenaeus calls him Cephalion and remarks that the Troica under his name was the work ofHegesianax of Alexandria.[13]

Its site is located nearKarınkalı,Asiatic Turkey.[1][14]
