ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΙ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΚΑΒΑΛΑ
Marsyas, of Philippi, commonly called the Younger (ho neoteros), to distinguish
him from Marsyas of Pella, with whom he has frequently been confounded. The period
at which he flourished is uncertain: the earliest writers by whom he is cited
are Pliny and Athenaeus. The latter tells us that he was priest of Heracles. (Athen.
xi. p. 467, c.) The works of his which we find cited, are, 1. Makedonika, whether
a geographical or strictly historical treatise is uncertain; it contained at least
six books. (Harpocr. s. v. Lete.) 2. Archaiologia, in twelve books, mentioned
by Suidas; probably, as suggested by Geier, the same with the Attika attributed
by the lexicographer to the elder Marsyas. 3. Muthika, in seven books.
The two last works are erroneously attributed by Suidas, according
to our existing text, to a. third Marsyas, a native of Taba, but it has been satisfactorily
shown that this supposed historian is no other than the mythical founder of the
city of Taba (Steph. Byz. s. v. Tabai), and that the works ascribed to him belong
in fact to Marsyas of Philippi.
All the questions concerning both the elder and the younger Marsyas
are fully discussed, and the extant fragments of their works collected, by Geier,
Alexandri M. Historiar. Scriptores aetate suppares, Lips. 1844, pp. 318-340. (See
also Droysen, Hellenism. vol. i. pp. 679-682; Bernhardy, ad Suid. s. v. Marsuas.)

ΠΟΛΥΣΤΥΛΟ (Χωριό) ΚΑΒΑΛΑ
β' μισό 14ου αιώνα
Mεταξύ των ετών 1342-1343/44 διετέλεσε οινοχόος της αυτοκράτειρας
Αννας Παλαιολογίνας. O Iωάννης Aπόκαυκος τον τοποθέτησε ηγεμόνα στο Πολύστυλο
της Θράκης, φυλακίστηκε όμως από τους κατοίκους, οι οποίοι τον παρέδωσαν στον
Iωάννη ΣT΄ Kαντακουζηνό. O τελευταίος τον ελευθέρωσε και τον απέστειλε ως αντιπρόσωπό
του στην αυτοκράτειρα Αννα Παλαιολογίνα.

ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΙ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΚΑΒΑΛΑ
Flacus, Norbanus, C. Norbanus Flaccus. In B. C. 42 he and Decidius Saxa were sent
by Octavian and Antony with eight legions into Macedonia, and thence they proceeded
to Philippi to operate against Brutus and Cassius. They encamped in the neighbourhood
of Philippi, and occupied a position which prevented the republicans advancing
any further. By a stratagem of Brutus and Cassius, Norbanus was led to quit his
position, but he discovered his mistake in time to recover his former position.
The republicans advancing by another and longer road, Norbanus withdrew with his
army towards Amphipolis, and the republicans, without pursuing Norbanus, encamped
near Philippi. When Antony arrived, he was glad to find that Amphipolis was secured,
and having strengthened its garrison under Norbanus, he proceeded to Philippi.
In B. C. 38, C. Norbanus Flaccus was consul with App. Claudius Pulcher. The C.
Norbanus Flaccus, who was consul B. C. 24 with Octavian, was probably a son of
the one here spoken of. (Appian, B. C. iv. 87, 103, &c., 106, &c.; Dion Cass.
xxxviii. 43, xlvii. 35, xlix. 23, liii. 28; Plut. Brut. 38.)
