Scithae or Skithai (Ancient Greek: Σκίθαι) was a town of Chalcidice in ancient Macedonia. It is cited in a fragment of Theopompus collected by Stephanus of Byzantium, which locates it in Thrace, in the vicinity of Potidaea.[1] The city also appears on coins; Scithaean silver coins dated around the year 500 BCE have been preserved.
It has been suggested that Scithae is the same place as Kithas,[2] which suggestion is accepted by the editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World.[3]
Accepting the identification, its site is located in the western Chalcidice.[3][4]
