A town in Mygdonia in Macedonia, at the mouth of the river Axius.
Chalastra (Chalastra, Strab. vii. p. 330; Chalestre, Herod. vii. 123;
Chalaistra, Plut. Alex. 49; Plin. iv. 10. § 17, xxxi. 10. § 46), a town of Mygdonia
in Macedonia, situated on the Thermaean gulf at the right of the mouth of the
Axius, which belonged to the Thracians and possessed a harbour. (Steph. B. s.
v.) Perseus, king of Macedonia, barbarously put all the male inhabitants to death.
(Diod. Excerpt. 308.) Afterwards the population, with that of other towns of Mygdonia,
was absorbed in great measure by Thessalonica on its foundation by Cassander.
It cannot, therefore, be expected that many remains should be existing. The site
may, however, be considered to be at or near the modern Kulakia. (Tafel, Thessalon.
p. 277; Leake, Northern Greece, vol. iii. p. 450.)
