Pantomatrium
Pantomatrium or Pantomatrion (Template:Lang-grc)[1] was a town on the north coast of ancient Crete, placed by Ptolemy between Rhithymna and the Dium Promontorium,[2] but by Pliny more to the west, between Aptera and Amphimalla.[3] Its name was changed to Agrion in late antiquity.[4] Under the name of Agrion, or Arion, it was a Roman Catholic bishopric.[5]
Its site is located near Stavromenos.[4][6]
