From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ochras was a town of ancient Cappadocia mentioned by the Antonine Itinerary. Ptolemy mentions a place Odogra or Odoga, in the district of Chammanene in Cappadocia, between the Halys River and Mount Argaeus,[1] which William Smith conjectured was possibly the same as Ochras. Modern scholars do not accept the equivalence.[2]

Its site is tentatively located near Kalkancık Hüyük, Asiatic Turkey.[2][3]
