ARGY´RIA(Ἀργυρία), mentioned in the Periplus of Arrian (p. 17) as 20 stadia east of Tripolis ( Tireboli), in Pontus. Hamilton ( Researches, &c., vol. 1. p. 259) found the old silver mines, from which the place took its name, 2 1/2 miles from Tireboli.
There was another place Argyria, in the Troas, near Aenea ( Erieor Einieh), according to Groskurd's Note ( Translation of Strabo, vol. 2. p. 580) so called also from the silver mines near there.
