A city of Euboia, situated in Chalkidian [sc. territory].
Argousa: polis tês Euboias en têi Chalkidikêi keimenê.
Abbreviated from Harpokration s.v., commenting on the appearance of this toponym in
Demosthenes 21 (at chs. 132 and 164) and citing the local historian
Aristoteles of Chalkis [
Myth,
Place] (FGrH 423 F1). The name, all other sources (including
Stephanus of
Byzantium) agree, was Argoura, not the Suda's Argousa (or in one manuscript Argousai).
For Euboia see generally
epsilon 3382; for Chalkis see under
chi 43 and
chi 46. Argoura, strictly speaking, was not a city (polis) but a sub-polis settlement: see K. Reber, M.H. Hansen and P. Ducrey in M.H. Hansen and T.H. Nielsen (eds.),
