A celebrated town of Thrace on the Pontus Euxinus, and at the foot of Mount Haemus, founded by the inhabitants of Chalcedon and Byzantium in the time of Darius Hystaspis, and hence called a colony of Megara, since those two towns were founded by the Megarians.

2.

A town in Thrace, but of less importance, on the coast of the Aegaean Sea, and in the territory of the Cicones, near the mouth of the Lissus.
