Jerusalem Itinerary. Cassius Dio speaks of it as a naval station opposite to Nicomedia.[3][4] After the Battle of Antioch (in 218), the Roman emperor Macrinus fled to Eribolum seeking passage westwards while avoiding the large port of Nicomedia whose governor was in favour of the emperor Heliogabalus.[5]

Its site is located near Yeniköy, in Asiatic Turkey.[6][7]
