Headword: Melantias
Adler number: mu,463
Translated headword: Melantias
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
A Thracian village which many call Melitias, 102 stades distant from Byzantium. Beside it flows the Athyras river, which, after proceeding a little further and bending slightly in the direction of the Kaikia wind,[1] empties its flow into the Propontis; hence too the harbour-town at the end bears its name.
