Chapter XXXIII: Appendix: IV. History of the Greek Congress or Synedrion During the Persian (7)
1916 Liv. XLIII. 21. see above, § 2.
1917 Steph. Byz. in Παραυαῖοι. According to Arrian I. 7. the ἄκρα
Τυμφαίας and Παραυαίας, between Elimea and Thessaly. Plutarch Qu.
Gr. 13. cf. 26. places Parauæa in Molossis, Stephanus in Thesprotis,
as well as Tymphe. Comp. Thuc. II. 80. It is now called _Zagori_.
See _Geographische Ephemeriden_, vol. XVII. p. 429.
1918 Strab. VII. p. 325. cf. 326. The Paroræa in Pæonia, Liv. XLII. 51.
Plin. IV. 17. should be distinguished from it.
1919 Strab. VII. p. 327. cf. 326. Liv. XLV. 30. According to Marsyas in
Steph. Byz. in v. Αἰθικία, Æthicia lay between Tymphæa and
Athamania. In Liv. XXXII. 13. should probably be written, _in
Tymphæa terra Molottidis,_ where you would arrive by mounting the
course of the Aous. Plutarch Pyrrh. 6. connects Stymphæa and
Parauæa: τήν τε Στυμφαίαν καὶ τὴν Παραυαίαν τῆς Μακεδονίας. Comp.
Niebuhr’s Römische Geschichte, vol. III. p. 536.
1920 See particularly Polyb. II. 5. Scylax, p. 10. Comp. Thucydides,
Livy, and Strabo as above. In Proxenus ap. Steph. Byz. in v. Χαονία,
for Ταραύλιοι, Ἀμύμονες read Παραυαῖοι, Ἀτίντανες. It is mentioned
in Pseud-Aristot. Mirab. Auscult. p. 704. ed. Casaub. that Atintania
borders on Apolloniatis; and hence in p. 710. for Ἀτλαντίνων read
Ἀτιντάνων, or Ἀμαντίνων.
1921 In Liv. XXXI. 40. Sulpicius goes from Elimea to Orestis, and from
thence to Dassaretis (on the lake Lychnidus, XXVII. 32. near
Lyncestis, XXXI. 33. XXXII. 9. cf. Polyb. V. 108. Ptolem. p. 83,),
and conquers Pelion on the Erigon (see Arrian I. 5.).
1922 Μακεδόνων οἱ Ὀρέσται, Polyb. XVIII. 30. Liv. XXXIII. 34. cf. XLII.
38.
1923 Or Ὀρεστιὰς, Strab. VII. p. 326.
1924 Liv. XXXI. 40.
1925 Mannert denies this (VII. p. 519.); but without the authority of any
good map. See Pouqueville tom. II. p. 322. Orestia was beyond
Macedonia, according to Steph. Byz.
1926 This is evident from the following passages, Plin. H. N. IV. 15. _In
Thessalia autem Orchomenos Minyeus ante dictus, et oppidum Almon ab
aliis Salmon._ Schol. Apollon. II. 1186. δύναται δὲ καὶ Ὀρχομενοῦ
μνημονεύειν τοῦ μεθορίου Μακεδονίας καὶ Θεσσαλίας. Steph. Byz. Μινύα
πόλις Θεσσαλίας ἡ πρότερον Ἁλμωνία; Diod. XX. 110. where Orchomenus
and Dium are mentioned together as cities in existence in Olymp.
119. 3; Eustath. ad Il. IX. p. 661. 4. ed. Bas. (cf. II. p. 206.
22.) who states that the Thessalian _or_ Macedonian Orchomenus was
in his time called Charmenas. See _Orchomenos_, pp. 139, 249. where
it is also shown that the Halmopians, or Salmonians, were an ancient
tribe of the Minyæ.
1927 Livy XLV. 30. says of Eordæa, Lyncestis, Pelagonia, Atintania,
Tymphæa, and Elimiotis, _frigida hæc omnis duraque cultu et aspera
plaga est_.
1928 Among the Macedonian gentile-names, such as Lyncestæ, Orestæ, Diastæ
(Steph. Byz. in Δῖον), may also be included the Cyrrhestæ (Plin. H.
N. IV. 17.) of the region Cyrrhus (Thuc. II. 100. Diod. XVIII. 4.
Steph. Byz. in Μανδαραί).
1929 Thuc. IV. 83. 124, 129. Liv. XXVI. 25. XXXI. 33. see p. 459, note m,

27.
1930 Thuc. IV. 124. τὰς τοῦ Ἀρριβαίου κώμας. Heraclea Lyncestis appears
to have been a late settlement.
1931 Thuc. IV. 127.
1932 Strab. VII. p. 323. This road, which, according to the tab.
Peutinger. and the Itin. Anton. p. 318, 329, passes through
Lychnidus, Heraclea Lyncestis, Cellæ, Edessa, Pella, and Therma,
evidently in the higher parts followed the direction of an _ancient
pass_, the εὔπορος ὁδὸς διὰ τῆς Δασσαρήτιδος (see p. 458, note a
[Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote to “Illyrian
Dassaretians,” starting “In Liv. XXXI. 40.”]) κατὰ Λύγκον, Plut.
Flamin. 4. and also Liv. XXXII. 9. where for _Lychnidum_ read
_Lyncum_.
1933 This follows from Liv. XLV. 29. _Quarta regio trans Boram montem_
(with respect to which the _tertia regio_ was _versus
septentrionem_, and therefore _versus meridiem_ of this), and XLV.
30. _Quartam regionem Eordæi et Lyncestæ et Pelagones incolunt._
1934 For example, the way in Livy XXVI. 25. cf. XXXI. 33. where the river
_Bevus_ is also mentioned, probably one of the branches, which,
according to Strabo VII. p. 327, fall into the Erigon ἐκ Λυγκηστῶν.
1935 In Liv. XLII. 53. Perseus goes from Pella through Eordæa to Elimea.
The _lacus Begorrites_ appears to be the lake Citrini.
1936 See above, note n. [Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote to
“south of it,” starting “This follows from Liv.”]
1937 Arrian I. 7. The river Eordaicus, ibid. I. 5, probably runs from
Eordæa into the Erigon.
1938 Liv. XXXIX. 53. Strab. VII. p. 327. Places, Bryanium, Alcomenæ,
Stymbara (_Stubera_ Livy, Στύβερρα Polybius). In Livy XXXI. 39, 40.
Sulpicius follows a mountain-road from Stubera to Eordæa, and then
to Elimea; compare Polyb. XVIII. 6. 3.
1939 Liv. XXXIX. 53.
1940 See above, p. 459, note s. [Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote
to “along the Erigon,” starting “Liv. XXXIX. 53.”]
1941 By the road _per Pelagoniam et Lyncum et Bottiæam in Thessaliam_,
Liv. XXVI. 25. That it borders on Deuriopus is shown by Liv. XXXI.
39.
1942 Liv. XXXI. 28, 33. comp. Gatterer Commentat. tom. VI. p. 67.
1943 Thucyd. II. 99. τῆς Παιονίας παρὰ τὸν Ἀξιὸν ποταμὸν στενήν τινα
καθήκουσαν ἄνωθεν μέχρι Πέλλης καὶ θαλάσσης. The same strip of land
was included by Æmilius Paulus in his _tertia regio_, according to
Livy XLV. 29. _Adjecta huic parti regio Pæoniæ, qua ab occasu præter
Axium amnem porrigitur._
1944 See above, p. 454, note p. [Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote
to “from Bottiaïs,” starting “Herod. VII. 123.”]
1945 II. 99. where Sitalces is going to make a descent into Lower
Macedonia, the country of Perdiccas, from Doberus κατὰ κορυφήν. He
then invades (II. 100.) Eidomene, Gortynia, Atalante, and Europus
(_Europos ad Axium amnem_, Plin. IV. 17.), probably places in
Pæonia, but certainly not Bottiæa or Mygdonia.

Mannert. vol. VII. p. 502.
1949 Doberus coincides with the modern _Doiran_. The Κερκινῖτις λίμνη,
Arrian I. 11, is probably the lake near Doiran.

1959 Above, p. 458, note b. [Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote to
“Orestian Macedonians,” starting “Μακεδόνων οἱ Ὀρέσται.”] Thucydides
II. 80. distinguishes the Orestæ from the Macedonians, viz., from
those of Perdiccas.
1960 Thuc. II. 80. Perhaps from his name he was of the family of the
Aleuadæ.

Thuc. IV. 124.
1964 Herod. VIII. 137, 138.
1965 II. 100. These were, according to Herodotus, Perdiccas, Argæus,
Philip, Aeropus, Alcetas, Amyntas, Alexander, and Perdiccas.
1966 Edessa on the Via Egnatia, 28. m. p. from Pella, 62-66. from
Heraclea Lyncestis (Antonin. Itinerar. pp. 319, 330; the tab.
Peuting. gives less accurately 45 and 77 m. p.) is probably the
modern _Vodina_.
1967 See Dexippus ap. Syncell. p. 262. Euseb. Scal. p. 47. cf. 37. Justin
VII. 1. Solin. IX. 14. Dexippus quotes Theopompus for Caranus.
Marsyas (perhaps the cotemporary of Alexander and Antigonus) related
a fable concerning Cœnus, the successor of Caranus, Etym. Mag. p.

1971 Consequently the story that Xerxes gave Alexander all the country
between mounts Olympus and Hæmus (Justin VII. 4.) is not entirely
fabulous.
1972 Gatterer Commentat. vol. IV. p. 96. vol. VI. p. 15. is more accurate
on this point than Poppo Thucyd. vol. II. p. 421.
1973 Herod. VII. 112. Although Ἠιὼν ἐπὶ Θρᾴκης in Thuc. IV. 7. cannot be
that on the Strymon, yet Eustathius ad Il. II. 566. p. 217. ed. Bas.
is incorrect in distinguishing Ἠιὼν in Pieria from that on the
Strymon (comp. Steph. Byz. in Ἠιὼν, Schol. Thuc. I. 98.); and
Raoul-Rochette, Histoire des Colonies Grecques, tom. III. p. 207,
should not have followed him, since Pieria, viz. New-Pieria, reaches
in this point to the Strymon. But the Ἠιὼν of Thucydides is not in
Pieria, but in Chalcidice.
1974 Thuc. II. 99.
1975 The expression of Thucydides, καὶ ἔτι καὶ νῦν Πιερικὸς κόλπος
καλεῖται, proves that the circumstance had taken place long before.
Hence arose the fabulous genealogies of Pierus and Emathius, the
sons of Macednus, &c; Marsyas ap. Schol. Il. XIV. 226. comp. Pausan.
IX. 29. 1.
1976 VIII. 127. Thucydides also includes the Bottiæans, I. 57. (cf. IV.
57.) among those ἐπὶ Θρᾴκης. Βοττιαῖοι ἐν Θρᾴκῃ, Callimachus fragm.
75, 41.
1977 Herod. V. 94. Concerning the position of Anthemus, see Plin. H.N.
IV. 17. Hence the τάγμα Ἀνθεμουσία of the Macedonian army, Hesychius
in v. Ἴλη ἑταίρων Ἀνθεμουσία, Arrian II. 9. [See Thirlwall’s Hist.
of Greece, vol. V. p. 194. note.]
1978 An objection which might be derived from Thucyd. I. 58. where,
according to the old reading, Mygdonia is distinguished from the
kingdom of Perdiccas, is removed by omitting the τε after Μυγδονίας,
which Bekker and Poppo have expunged, with good MSS.
1979 The distinction taken by Tzetzes ad Lycoph. 419. between the Ἤδωνες
and Ἠδωνοὶ, viz., that the former dwelt on the coast, the latter
inland, cannot be supported. For instance, Thucyd. I. 100. calls
those by Amphipolis Ἠδωνοί.
1980 VII. 114.
1981 Herod. V. 11, 24.
1982 Thuc. IV. 107.
1983 But τὰ ἐντὸς Μακεδόνουν ἔθνεα, Herod. VI. 44, are not the nations in
Macedonia (Heyne Opuscul. Acad. IV. p. 164.), but those between
Macedonia and Persia. See Boeckh’s Economy of Athens, vol. II. p.
483. note.

Diod. XIII. 49. Scylax, p. 26. calls Pydna and Methone Greek cities;
but that proves nothing for their independence.
1988 Above, p. 455, note g. [Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote to
“according to Herodotus,” starting “VII. 127.”] No one surely will
distinguish between γῆ ἡ Μακεδονὶς and ἡ Μακεδονία.
1989 Above, § 16. Herodotus also mentions together, among the allies of
Xerxes, VII. 185, the Eordians (in Physca, see below, p. 468. note k
[Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote to “Physca in Mygdonia,”
starting “According to Ptolemy, p. 83.”]), the Bottiæans (near
Olynthus), and the Chalcideans. Concerning the Brygians, see below,

1998 In Syncellus and Eusebius Scal. the reading is Dardanians for
Eordians; the latter, which is evidently the correct reading, is
preserved in the Armenian Eusebius, p. 168. ed. Mai. who follows
Diodorus.
1999 According to Ptolemy, p. 83. In Steph. Byz. it should probably be
written, Ἐορδαῖαι, δύο χῶραι, Μακεδονίας καὶ Μυγδονίας.

Elimea.

2011 Pliny H. N. IV. 17. mentions _Almopians_, together with Eordians, on
the banks of the Axius; and in Ptolemy p. 83. Almopia is the country
near Europus; it was to this place that the Almopians probably fled.
This also explains the genealogical connexion with Pæon and Edonus.
_Orchamenos,_ p. 250, note 2.
2012 Of ancient wars of the Macedonians, not mentioned by Thucydides, I
may mention the fabulous battle between Caranus and _Cisseus_
(Pausan. IX. 40. 4.), probably a king of _Cissus_, near Therma,
which is the explanation given by Strabo VII. exc. 10. p. 330. of
Cisseus the Thracian in Il. XI. 221. Euripides transferred this war,
as well as the story of the goats, into his tragedy called
Archelaus, perhaps only written from flattery, fragm. 33. ed. Musgr.
Hyginus Fab. 219. See also Lycophr. 1237. Concerning the supposed
war with the Phrygians, see below, § 30.
2013 See Mannert, vol. VII. p. 281. In the catalogue of nations, however,
in Appian Illyr. 2. Pæonian and Thracian (Mædi, Triballi) are mixed
with Illyrian tribes.
2014 Herod. IV. 93. V. 3. Menander ap. Strab. VII. p. 297. The language
of the Getæ was Thracian, Strab. VII. p. 303.
2015 Herod. VII. 75, &c.
2016 According to Strabo VII. p. 305, 315. cf. VII. p. 323.
2017 Strab. VII. p. 316. According to which passage they extended more to
the north as far as the Illyrian Dardanians. The Thracians beyond
Crestona, mentioned by Herodotus V. 3. are probably the same people.
2018 Conon Narr. c. 20. calls the Bisaltæ Thracians (Ἄργιλος was also a
Thracian name according to Heraclid. Pont. 41); and the Panæans,
whom Thucydides II. 101. calls Thracians, were an Edonian nation
according to Stephanus Byz.
2019 Strabo X. p. 471. does not appear to make this supposition, but
perhaps in VII. p. 321.

2025 See particularly Appian Illyr. I. But as in later times Pæonians and
Illyrians were confounded (Appian Illyr. 14.) the Paunonians also
were called Illyrians.
2026 Herod. V. 13. comp. VII. 20, 75, and see _Prolegomena zur
Mythologie_, p. 351. The legend concerning the great expedition of
the Teucrians is well given in Lycophron v. 1341.

2030 Herod. V. 20.
2031 Herodot. V. 22. and see Valckenaer’s note. The Attic orators
evidently exaggerate; there is, however, perhaps a slight hyperbole
in what Weiske _de Hyperbole_, p. 19. says on the other side.
2032 See Scylax, p. 12. and the metrical Dicæarchus, p. 3. Comp. Salmas.

2033 The passage of Hesiod appears to be from the Ἠοῖαι (above p. 4. note
n [Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote to “Hesiod and
Hellanicus,” starting “Ap. Constant.”]), and these poems come down
as late as the 40th Olympiad (_Orchomenos_, p. 358). After Hesiod

of Illyrian and Pæonian descent, Comp. p. 421.
2036 See above, p. 460. note z. [Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote
to “and the coast,” starting “Thucyd. II. 99.”] Pliny H. N. IV. 17.
appears to say that the Eordi were Pæonians; and it is not
improbable that this was the fact, though the passage of Pliny is
corrupt. Herodotus VII. 185. mentions together Thracians, Pæonians,
Eordians, Bottiæans, Chalcidians, Brygians, Pierians, Macedonians,
and Perrhæbians.
_ 2037 E.g._ Thuc. IV. 124.
_ 2038 E.g._ Thucydides II. 96. mentions Thracians between mounts Hæmus
and Rhodope, Getæ and mountain Thracians together, as if the Getæ
were not Thracians. Instances of this use are very common; _e.g._
the common case of Ionians _and_ Athenians.
2039 Il. XIV. 226. And hence in the Hymn to the Pythian Apollo, v. 39.
(according to Matthiä’s and Ilgen’s conjecture), although Emathia
does not suit very well there, and the preceding word (neither
Λεύκον nor Λίγκον is in its place) remains uncertain. The Roman
poets, as is well known, use the name in a very wide sense, Heyne ad
Virg. Georg. I. 492.
2040 Plin. H. N. IV. 17. Justin. VII. 1. Gell. XIV. 6. 4. Solinus IX. 1.
distinguishes between the Edonian, Mygdonian, Pierian, and Emathian
territory, and IX. 12. derives the name of Emathia, as being that of
the most ancient Macedonia, from an Autochthon _Emathius_. Tzetzes
ad Hesiod. Op. I. Chiliad. VI. 90. states, from the Delphica of
Melisseus, that Aëropus, the eldest son of Emathion, had reigned
over Lyncus, which had previously been called Pieria,—a very
confused account.

Idomenæ 53 m. p. from Therma, and 35 from Stoboi (Istip), agrees
very well with Thucydides, Ptolemy, and Pliny.
2045 Since he entirely separates Bottiæa from Pieria.
2046 XXIV. 8. Liv. XV. 3. Justin VII. 1. says of Emathia, _Populus
Pelasgi, regio Bœotia dicebatur_, where _Bottiæa_ is a more probable
correction than _Pæonia_, and is confirmed by the Vatican fragments
of Diodorus, p. 4. Mai.

[Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote to “valley of Orestis,”

Concerning the name of the Argeadæ see Pausan. VII. 8. 5. and the

the Macedonian kings properly refers to this Argos Orestikon.

plainly distinguishes from the Βρίγεσφρύγες (VII. 73.) the Βρύγοι
Θρήικες (VI. 45. VII. 185.) in Macedonia, who revolted to Mardonius
and came with Xerxes; and Strabo also appears completely to separate
the Βρύγοι as an Illyrian people (in p. 327. write Βρύγων) from the
Thracian Βρίγες, who are said to have entirely left Europe (VII. p.
295): still their names and settlements seem to establish a national
affinity.

speaks of an ancient king Europus in this country, and according to
Steph. Byz. Εὐρωπὸς and Ὠρωπὸς were the sons of Macedon) reminds us
of Demeter Europa, the Hermionean Europs, and the Cretan Europa. The
Cretan Ἰδομενεὺς implies the existence of a place named Ἰδομένη.

2098 See above, p. 472, note a. [Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote
to “narrow strip of land,” starting “See above.”] Strabo, who calls
the Eordi Illyrians (above, § 26.), yet speaks only of the
Macedonian inhabitants of Eordia. Hesychius and Tzetzes ad Lycophr.
1342. call the Eordi Macedonians. Stephanus Byz. in Ἄμυρος has a
confused passage on the Amyri, who, according to Suidas, were Eordi.

very different from the mild and social Zagoriots (Parauæans),

2129 Hence, for example, it cannot be inferred from the distinction
between the Illyrian and Macedonian languages in Polyb. XXVIII. 8.
9. that the nations were originally of a different descent. Sturz
_De Dialecto Macedonica et Alexandrina_ has not sufficiently
distinguished the third period from the two first.
2130 For example, Steph. Byz. in v. Βορμίσκος—οὓς κύνας τῇ πατρῴᾳ φωνῇ
ἐστερικὰς καλοῦσιν οἱ Μακεδόνες. The barbarous word σκοῖδος,
signifying a kind of steward, which was used by Alexander in
letters, and adopted by Menander (Photius, p. 523. 5.) can hardly be
oriental. See also the collection of Sturz in the words ἄβαγνα,
ἄδδαι, ἀδῆ, ἀκρέα, ἄξος, &c.
2131 The Athamanes were Epirots according to Strabo, Illyrians according
to Steph. Byz. in v. The words are not Grecian.
2132 See above, Σανάδαι, and Athenæus III. p. 114 B. concerning the
Macedonian and Athamanian word δράμις or δράμιξ.
2133 This fact may be believed on the testimony of Curtius VI. 9. 35.
2134 Apollonius de Construct. III. 7. calls it the Macedonian or
Thessalian usage. Sturz, p. 28. 5. infers chiefly from this that the
Macedonian language was originally nearly the same as the Dorian.
The coins, I may remark incidentally, prove nothing, as they were
struck for intercourse with the Greeks. Adelung, on the other hand,
considers the Macedonians as Thracians (to which nation he also
refers the Illyrians), with a tinge of Greek civilisation,
Mithridat, vol. II. p. 359.
2135 See above, p. 3. notes g and h. [Transcriber’s Note: These are the
footnotes to “native dialect,” starting “Compare, for example,” and
to “Æolic,” starting “_E.g._ the nominatives.”]
2136 Above, p. 467. note c. [Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote to
“on Pieria,” starting “Near the pass Volustana.”] Hence the
Cambunian mountains are now called Volutza.
2137 Above, p. 453. note g. [Transcriber’s Note: This is the footnote to
“Candavian chain,” starting “Ptolemy.”] The first syllable of this
name appears to be the same as of _Cambunii montes_, in which the
second part is probably the word βοῦνος, which in modern Greek still
means “a hill.” In the names of Macedonian mountains, _Barnus_,
_Bermius_, and _Bertiscus_ (Ptolemy), there is probably the same
root.
2138 Pausan. X. 6. 5. οἱ μὲν δὴ γενεαλογεῖν τὰ πάντα ἐθέλοντες, &c.
2139 Ἕλληνος δ᾽ ἐγένοντο θεμιστοπόλον Βασιλῆες Δῶρός τε Ξοῦθός τε καὶ

χ’. 2.
2140 Apollodorus I. 7, 3. Pausan. V. 1, 2. &c. from the circumstance that
Achæus and Ion are represented as the _only_ sons of Xuthus, I have
inferred above that the Ionians were probably of an Achæan race.
2141 Schol. Hom. Od. κ. 2. οἱ δὲ λέγουσιν ὅτι Ἕλλην γόνῳ μὲν ἦν Διὸς,
λόγῳ δὲ Δευκαλίωνος. Compare Pindar Pyth. IV. 167. who alludes to
this fable, and Eurip Melan. IV. 2.
2142 Il. II. 684. and compare IX. 395, 474. XVI. 595. The verse ἐγχείῃ δ᾽
ἐκέκαστο Πανέλληνας καὶ Ἀχαιοὺς, II. 530, has been properly
condemned by the Alexandrine critics.
2143 Or rather “_near_ Phthia.” Homer distinguishes Hellas and Phthia
(Il. IX. 395, 478, 479. Od. XI. 495.); the tetrarchy of Phthiotis in
later times included both.

2145 Hesiod. Op. et Di. 526. Βράδιον δὲ Πανελλήνεσσι φαείνει. Compare

ancient passages in which the collective name of the Greeks occurs,
viz., the verse in the Works and Days, the spurious line in the
Iliad, and the passage in the Ἠοῖαι referred to by Strabo, they are
called, not Ἕλληνες, but Πανέλληνες.
