Cius (; Kios) was an Ancient Greek city bordering the Propontis (now known as the Sea of Marmara), in Bithynia and in Mysia (in modern northwestern Turkey). The city was later renamed to Prusias after King Prusias I of Bithynia, who once restored the city.

The Karasids (; ) were a Turkoman dynasty that ruled the region of Mysia in northwestern Anatolia during the first half of the 14th century. While legendary lineages link the family to the Danishmendids, an 11–12th-century dynasty in central Anatolia, the earliest Karasid rulers the eponymous Karasi Bey and his father Kalam Shah are thought to have taken over the region around Balıkesir during the reign of Mesud II () of the Sultanate of Rum claiming independence. Following the death of Karasi Bey, the dynasty ended up ruling two separate emirates, headed by Demir Khan and Yakhshi Khan. Demir
