Location

Its site is located near Karahamzılı, Asiatic Turkey.[3][4][5] The exact location of Cinna is now lost though it is thought to have been near village of Balyk Koyounji (vilayet of Angora) in a rich corn-growing area, west of Ankara.[6][7] It is also thought to be in the locations of Cihanbeyli or Kulu.[8][9]
