DICAEA

DICAEA (Δικαία), a Greek port town on the coast of Thrace on lake Bistonis, in the country of the Bistones. The place appears to have decayed at an early period. Some identify it with the modern Curnu, and others with Bauron. (Hdt. 7.109; Scylax, p. 27; Strab. vii. p.331; Steph. Byz. s.v. Plin. Nat. 4.18.)
