Scabala
Scabala or Skabala (Ancient Greek: Σκάβαλα), also known as Scabla or Skabla (Σκάβλα), was a town of Chalcidice in ancient Macedonia. It is cited in a fragment of Theopompus collected by Stephen of Byzantium, where it is claimed that it was a colony of Eretria.[1] It belonged to the Delian League since it appears in the tribute registry of Athens between 454/3 and 433/2 BCE. Since it is probable that it was one of the cities that rebelled against Athens in the year 432 BCE and in one of the records it paid a phoros jointly with Olynthus and Assa,[2] it has been suggested that it was located north of the peninsula of Sithonia,[1] which suggestion is accepted by the editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World.[3]
