"Chalcedon (/k\u00E6l\u02C8si\u02D0d\u0259n/ or /\u02C8k\u00E6ls\u0268d\u0252n/;Greek: \u03A7\u03B1\u03BB\u03BA\u03B7\u03B4\u03CE\u03BD, sometimes transliterated as Chalkedon) was an ancient maritime town of Bithynia, in Asia Minor. It was located almost directly opposite Byzantium, south of Scutari (modern \u00DCsk\u00FCdar) and it is now a district of the city of Istanbul named Kad\u0131k\u00F6y. The name Chalcedon is a variant of Calchedon, found on all the coins of the town as well as in manuscripts of Herodotus's Histories, Xenophon's Hellenica, Arrian's Anabasis, and other works."@en . . .
