The Months in Pontic Greek

The months of the year in Pontus were associated with farming activities and days of the Holy calendar. For instance July was called Hortotherts because in July each year they collected grass (in Greek, horto means grass and therizo means harvest). November was called Aergitess after Saint George (Ayios Georgios) because Saint George was celebrated on the 3rd of November each year in the Orthodox church.
