Polemonion ile batı komşusu Phadisane az bilgi yüzünden karıştırılmaktadır. Polemonion günümüz Fatsa’sının doğusunda şimdiki Bolaman’ın altında yer almaktadır. Fatsa ise antik kaynaklarda Phadisane, Phabda olarak bahsedilir.

Strabon, Anadolu coğrafyasını anlattığı 12-13-14. ciltlerde bölgeden batıdan doğuya şöyle bahseder:

“16 Themiskyra’dan sonra Themiskyra gibi iyi sulanmadığı halde verimli bir ova olan Sidene’ye gelinir. Deniz tarafından kaleleri vardır. Khabaka, Phabda ve Side. Sidene ismini buradan almıştır…

Bolaman is a neighbourhood of the municipality and district of Fatsa, Ordu Province, Turkey.[1] Its population is 1,318 (2022).[2] Before the 2013 reorganisation, it was a town (belde).[3][4][5] It is a coastal town on Turkish state highway D.010 which runs along the Black Sea coast. The distance to Fatsa is 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) to Ordu is 47 kilometres (29 mi).

The town (as well as the creek of the town) is named after Polemon, a governor of Ordu and vicinity during the Roman Empire era. But the town itself was founded in the 19th century. In 1966 it was declared a seat of township.[6] A small Byzantine fortification with an attached chapel was converted into an Ottoman-period residence.[7]
