The Elegmoi Monastery is located near the modern village of Kurşunlu on the south coast of the Sea of Marmara. The existing structure, Aberkios Church, was its main church. The monastery was erected on a  previous basilica from the 5th-6th centuries. Modern excavations revealed its existence on the north side of the present church. In the 10th and 11th centuries, the monastery was mentioned in the sources as “Heliou Bomon”.
