Pontus is in the southern part of the Black Sea. During the Apostle's time, it was an important province in the northeastern part of Asia Minor, lying along the south shore of the Black Sea. Some believe the 'Lost Ten Tribes of Israel' along with their Assyrian captors had begun migrating to this area and further northwesterly into what is now Europe. You may read of 'Pontus' in The Bible Book of Acts 2:1; 18:2 and 1 Peter 1:1.
