ΕΥΡΩΠΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΚΙΛΚΙΣ
Europus (Strab. vii.) A town of Emathia (Ptol. iii. 13. § 39), between
Idomene and the plains of Cyrrhus and Pella, probably situated on the right bank
of the Axius below Idomene. Not far above the entrance of the great maritime plain,
the site of Europus may perhaps hereafter be recognised by that strength of position
which enabled it to resist Sitalces and the Thracians. (Thuc. ii. 100.) We have
the concurring testimony of Ptolemy (iii. 13. § 24) and Pliny (iv. 10) that this
town of Emathia was different from Europus of Almopia, which latter town seems
from Hierocles-who names Europus as well as Almopia among the towns of the Consular
Macedonia (a provincial division containing both Thessalonica and Pella)-to have
been known in his time by the name of Almopia only; and hence we may infer that
it was the chief town of the ancient district Almopia.
