History
It belonged to the Delian League since it appears in the tribute registers of Athens, although only once in the year 421/20 BCE, where it paid a phoros of 600 drachmas.[3] It is also cited in a treaty of alliance between the Athenians and Bottiaeans of the year 422 BCE[4] from which it is deduced that it belonged to the territory of Bottiaea and that was a neighbor of Calindoia, but its exact location is unknown. In the year 323 BCE, it was one of the cities delivered by Alexander the Great to Macedonians. [5][6]
