History
An ancient settlement, probably to be localized in the southern part of the modern Greek municipality of Skydra on the basis of epigraphic finds in the modern communities of the area, especially Arseni, Loutrokhoroi, and Marina (Papazoglou). A Hellenistic temple (q.v.) subsequently has been discovered much closer to the residential agglomeration of modern Skyra, but the precise location of the settlement remains elusive.
