THERAMVO (Ancient city) HALKIDIKI
Thrambus (Therambos, Thrambos, Thrambeis, Thrambousia deiras). A town
of the peninsula Pallene, in Chalcidice in Macedonia, is called a promontory by
Stephanus B., and is hence supposed by Leake (Northern Greece, vol. iii. p. 156)
to have occupied a position very near the promontory Canastraeum, the most southerly
point of Pallene; but from the order of the names in Scylax we would rather place
it at the promontory upon the western side of the peninsula, called Posidium by
Thucydides (iv. 129).
