Cimiata

Cimiata or Kimiata was a hill town of ancient Paphlagonia, which gave its name to a division of Paphlagonia named Cimiatene. It was situated at the foot of the Olgassys.

Its site was previously located near Kurmalar, Asiatic Turkey.[1][2] However, view of new studies and epigraphic survey, this site is probably more located at Asar Tepe, near Deresamail village close to Eskipazar.[3]
