PAROECO´POLIS
PAROECO´POLIS (
Παροικόπολις,
Ptol. 3.13.30), a town of Sintice, in Macedonia, on the right of the river Strymon.
Nigríta, on the road from
Saloníki to
Seres, was either TRISTOLUS (
Τρίστολος, Ptol.
l.c.) or Paroecopolis, for these are the only two towns besides Heracleia which Ptolemy assigns to Sintice. If
Nigríta be assigned to Tristolus, Paroecopolis will be represented by
Skaftscha, which lies to the N. of the former town. (Leake,
Northern Greece, vol. iii. p. 229.)
