Dentheletae (Dentheletai, Strab. vii. p. 318; Danthaletai, Steph.
B.; Denseletae, Cic. in Pis. 34; Plin. iv. 11), a Thracian people who occupied
a district called, after them, Dentheletica (Dantheletike, Ptol. iii. 11. § 8),
which seems to have bordered on that occupied by the Maedi towards the SE., near
the sources of the Strymon. Philip, son of Demetrius, in his fruitless expedition
to the summit of Mount Haemus after rejoining his camp in Maedica, made an incursion
into the country of the Dentheletae, for the sake of provision. (Liv. xl. 22.)
(Comp. Polyb. xxiv. 6; Dion Cass. li. 23 ; Leake, Northern Greece, vol. iii. p.
474.)
