Abrettene(79 words)
[German version]
(Ἀβρεττηνή; Abrettēnḗ). Region in northern Mysia, north of Abbaitis and south of Olympene (Plin. HN 5,123; Str. 12,8,9; 11). At the time of the 2nd Triumvirate (43-36/32 BC) Cleon, a leader of the many local bands of brigands, dominated the region. Confirmed in his leadership by the future Augustus in about 30 BC, he was also a priest of Zeus Abrettenus [1. 154].
