Bordering on Circassia are the Atkans, who inhabit the coast country between Mingrelia and Circassia, and are also wild and given to plunder. Mithridates lived in Pantikapaum. The hill at Kertsch is called to this day "Mithridates' Seat."
Besides the Mithridates, there is no hill or mountain to be seen. Kertsch lies partly on the spot where Pantikapaum formerly stood. It is now included in the government of Tauria; it is fortified, has a safe harbour, and rather considerable commerce. The population amounts to 12,000.
