Bathys Rhyax
Bathys Rhyax (Greek: Βαθύς Ρύαξ), possibly also called Krya Pege, was a town of ancient Pontus on the road from Berissa to Sebasteia, inhabited during Byzantine times.[1] Anna Komnene mentions that the town had a shrine to the martyr Theodore.[2]
Its site is located 8 miles (13 km) southeast of Yıldızeli in Asiatic Turkey.[1][3]
