ABRETTENE, or ABRETTINE, in Ancient Geography, a district of Mysia, in Asia. Hence the epithet Abretteneus given to Jupiter (Strabo); whose priest was Cleon, formerly at the head of a gang of robbers, and who received many and great favours at the hand of Antony, but afterwards went over to Augustus. The people were called Abrettenei; inhabiting the country between Ancyra of Phrygia and the river Rhynacus.
