Harmozia); this last is doubtless Pliny’s Portus Macedonum among the Harmozaei, and, as will presently appear, it was probably Omana. Ptolemy’s Harmouza is the Harmoza Regia of the Ravennate geographer; this ought to mean that it was once somebody’s capital. Of course neither Harmozia nor Portus Macedonum (p. 13) was its official name. - [Previous: c24.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c24.6) - [Next: c24.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c24.8) - [Up: c24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c24) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c24.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c24.7) · Pramāṇa
