SARGE´TIA
SARGE´TIA (
Σαργετία,
D. C. 68.14;
Σαργεντία, Tzetz.
Chil. 2.61;
Σαργέντιος, Tzetz.
Chil. 6.53), a river of Dacia, upon which stood the royal palace of Decebalus.
This river must be identified with the
Strel or
Strey, a tributary of the
Marosch, since we know that Sarmizegethusa was the residence of Decebalus. [
SARMIZEGETHUSA] (Ukert, vol. iii. pt. ii. p. 603.)
