Chaetae
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the anatomical feature of invertebrates, see chaeta.
Chaetae or Chætæ was an ancient town of Macedonia that Ptolemy assigns to Mygdonia. It location cannot precisely be calculated from Ptolemy's account, which places it near Moryllus and Antigonia Psaphara which are some ways apart from one another. The town does not appear in the periplus of the fleet of Xerxes, indicating a location perhaps in the bay of Thessalonica between that city and Cape Aeneium.
