A town of Macedonia, of which coins are extant. Pliny (iv. 11. s. 18) says that
Ortagurea was the ancient name of Maroneia; but we learn from an ancient geographer
(Hudson, Geogr. Min. vol. iv. p. 42) that Orthagoria was the ancient name of Stageira,
to which accordingly the coins are assigned. (Eckhel, vol. ii. p. 73.)
