It was founded by a colony from Andros.

Its territory must have been extended as far as the right bank of the Strymon, since Cerdylium, the mountain immediately opposite Amphipolis, belonged to

Argilo fue una ciudad costera de Macedonia en el territorio de Bisaltia, enclavada al sureste de Anfípolis y al noreste de Bormisco, a orillas del Golfo Estrimónico. Fue una colonia de Andros y su territorio llegaba hasta el río Estrimón. En 424 a. C. se unió al general espartano Brásidas contra Anfípolis, colonia de los atenienses y rival de Argilo. Era tributaria de Atenas.​ Los argilios albergaban sentimientos hostiles hacia los anfipolitanos por haber tenido que ceder parte de su territorio, lo que explicaría su adhesión a la campaña de Brásidas.
