ASSUS, afterwards Apollonia (Pliny, v. 32), an ancient city of Mysia, on the Gulf of Adramyttium, was the birth-place of Cleanthes the Stoic, and for some time the residence of Aristotle. Its ruins are contiguous to the modern village of Beiram, 35 miles W.S.W. of Mount Ida; and the whole is said by Colonel Leake to give, perhaps, the most perfect idea of a Greek city that anywhere exists.—Leake's Asia Minor, p. 128; Fellow's Asia Minor, p. 46.
