VERGI (Ancient city) SERRES
Berge: Eth. Bergaios. A town of Macedonia, lying inland from the mouth
of the Strymon (Scymnlus Ch. 654; Ptol. iii. 13. § 31) only known as the birthplace
of the writer Antiphanes, whose tales were so marvellous and incredible as to
give rise to a verb Bergaizein, in the sense of telling falsehoods. (Strab. i.
p. 47, ii. pp. 102, 104.) Leake places Berga near the modern Takhyno, upon the
shore of the Strymonic lake.
