Agathopolls, a titular see in the province of
Hemimontus, now Akhtebolu, not far from the
Black Sea. It was first a bishopric, then an arch-
bishopric, and finally a metropolitan see, but noth-
ing more is known of its ancient history, except
that it had its own coinage. In the Middle Ages
the city is mentioned by Byzantine historians; it
is identified with the Gatapoli which appears in the
ancient Italian ideographical writers ana is also men-

Agathopolis, called by the Turks Akhtebolu, is
one of the principal cities of the province of
Adrianople and counts about 3,000 inhabitants, the

Sophronius (1673); Romanus (about 1700);
Neophites (1767-74); Gabriel (1806).
