Aulon, a hollow between hills or banks, was the name given to many
such districts, and to places situated in them.
In Mygdonia in Macedonia, situated a day's march from the Chalcidian
Arnae. (Thuc. iv. 103.) Leake (Northern Greece, vol. iii. p. 170) regards it as
simply the name of the pass, through which the waters of the lake Bolbe flow by
means of a river into the Strymonic gulf; but it appears to have been also the
name of a place in this pass. In later times at all events there was a town called
Aulon, since it is mentioned as one of the Macedonian cities restored by Justinian.
(De Aedif. iv. 4.)
