Sarapion
Sarapion (, also spelled Serapion) was an ancient proto-Somali port city in present-day Somalia. It was situated on a site that later became Mogadishu. Sarapion was briefly mentioned in Ptolemy's "Geographia" as one of the harbours a trader would encounter after sailing southernly on the Indian Ocean, passing along the way by the "Market of Spices" (Damo) and the emporium of Opone. The town is believed by modern scholars to have been positioned in the vicinity of Mogadishu and Warsheikh in present-day south-central Somalia.
