Paphlagonia

	Paphlagonia District in Asia Minor, lying along the Black Sea between Bithynia and Pontus, its borders delimited according to Strabo's Geography by the river Parthenius in the west and by the Halys in the east. The coastal area was dominated by Greek city-states such as Sinope; while the Paphlagonians (possibly of Semitic, Phrygian or Paleo-Anatolian origin) proper hailed primarily from the mountaineous interior. The Paphlagonians are believed to have been descended from the Gasgans, a tribe of Zagros highlanders that attacked the Hittite and later the Assyrian empire.
