Morimene

MORI´MENE(Μοριμενή), a district in the northwest of Cappadocia, comprising both banks of the river Halys, is said to have been fit only for pasture land, to have had scarcely any fruit-trees, and to have abounded in wild asses. (Strab. xii. pp. 534, 537, 539, 540; Plin. Nat. 6.3.) The Romans regarded it as a part of Galatia, whence Ptolemy (Ptol. 5.6) does not mention it among the districts of Cappadocia.

(Μοριμενή). The northwestern district of Cappadocia, on the banks of the Halys, assigned under the Romans to Galatia.
