It appears to have stood southeast of Thessalonica and north of Chalcidice, since we learn from Thucydides that its territory bordered upon Bisaltia, Crestonia and Mygdonia. The territory of the town is first mentioned when Amyntas I of Macedon offered it to Hippias, the son of Athenian tyrant Pisistratus. Hippias refused it, as well as a similar offer from the Thes

Gordynia or Gortynia or Gortynion was a settlement reached in ancient Macedonia, in the southern valley of the Axios river, northeast of Bottiaea close to the Paionian border. Ptolemy places Gordenia (Γορδηνία), in his list of cities in Emathia, after Idomenae and before Edessa. Plinius (HN 4.34) gives the name in plural, Gordyniae. Stephanus of Byzantium calls it Gordynia and its ethnic noun Gordyniates. In Thucydides (2.100) Gortynia and Atalanta came to terms with the Thracian army of Sitalces, out of regard for Amyntas the son of Philip, the brother of Perdiccas II, who accompanied the exp

Doberus or Doberos () was a town of Paeonia, which Sitalces reached after crossing Mount Cercine, and where many troops and additional volunteers reached him, making up his full total. Hierocles calls the town Diaborus or Diaboros (Διάβορος) and names it next to Idomenae among the towns of Macedonia Prima under the Byzantine Empire; this, coupled with the statement of Ptolemy that it belonged to the Aestraei, would seem to show that Doberus was near the modern Dojran. Suda called it Dobeira (Δόβειρα).

Spartolus or Spartolos () was the chief city of the Bottiaeans, perhaps in Bottike, in the northwest of the ancient Chalcidice, at no great distance from Olynthus. It was a member of the Delian League under the Thracian phoros, paying 2 or 3.5 talents, until the beginning of the Peloponnesian War, when the Bottiaean and the Chalkidian League revolted against Athens in 429 BCE. The ensuing Battle of Spartolos, fought under the walls of Spartolos, saw the rout of the Athenian forces by the Chalcideans. It was of sufficient importance to be mentioned in the treaty establishing the Peace of N
