Sinop - Shinop (English spelling)

A port city on the Black Sea on the northern coast of Turkey's Asia Minor Peninsula. Capital of Sinop Province. Population 30,502 (2000). It has a small shipbuilding industry and exports tobacco and timber, but the city has lost its port power to Samsun and is lacking in vitality. Its history dates back to the 13th century BC, and in the 7th century BC it became a colony of Miletus. In the 2nd century BC it was owned by the Kingdom of Pontus, and at one time it flourished as its capital. It is the birthplace of the ancient philosopher Diogenes. It has a citadel dating back to the Byzantine Empire in the 5th century.

トルコの小アジア半島北岸、黒海に臨む港湾都市。シノプ県の県都。人口3万0502(2000)。小規模な造船業があり、タバコ、木材などを移出するが、サムスンに港勢を奪われ町は活気に乏しい。紀元前13世紀にさかのぼる歴史をもち、前7世紀にはミレトスの植民市となった。前2世紀にポントゥス王国に領有され、一時はその首都となって大いに栄えた。古代の哲学者ディオゲネスの生誕地である。5世紀のビザンティン帝国時代にさかのぼる城塞(じょうさい)がある。
