Pimolisa (Ancient Greek: Πιμώλισα), or Pimolison,[1] was a fortified town of ancient Paphlagonia on the Halys River, near the western border of Pontus.[2] It had been destroyed by Strabo's time, but the district on both sides of the Halys was still called Pimolisene.[1]
Its site is located near Osmancık, Asiatic Turkey.[3][4]
