GORTY´NIA
GORTY´NIA (
Γορτυνία,
Γορδονία: Eth.
Γορδυνιάτης,
Steph. B. sub voce Γορδηνία,
Γορδουνία,
Ptol. 3.13.39), a place in Macedonia which the host of Sitalces passed in their march between Idomene and the plains of Cyrrhus and Pella (
Thuc. 2.100). Hence its position must be looked for in the upper valley of the river Axius. (Leake,
Northern Greece, vol. iii. p. 444.)
