Editor's Note
Cebrene, also spelled Cebren, was an ancient Greek city in the middle Skamander valley in the Troad region of Anatolia. According to some scholars its name was changed to Antiocheia in the Troad for a period in the 3rd century BC; its remains lie on Çal Dağ in the forested foothills of Mount Ida.

On Çal Dağı, in the wooded foothills of Kaz Dağı near the village of Çalıdağı in Bayramiç, lay a city of the Troad; the site was first described in 1860 by the English amateur archaeologist Frank Calvert. Its earliest Greek remains date to the mid-seventh and early sixth centuries BC and were found together with local pottery, which means the city began as a mixed Greco-Anatolian community. Xenophon implies that around 400 BC the population still combined Greek and Anatolian elements. Paying Athens three talents a year, the city passed after 404 BC into the hands of Zenis, tyrant of Dardanos, and his wife Mania, who governed the Troad on behalf of the Persian satrap.
