A region on the northeastern coast of the ISLAND of THASOS (BA 51 D3). Herodotus writes that he saw the GOLD mines between Aenyra and COENYRA (probably on Mt. Hypsarion: cf. Müller I, 108–17), which had been opened by the PHOENICIANS and contributed greatly to Thasos’ WEALTH (6.47.2). Aenyra appears on a fifth‐century BCE Thasian inscription indicating distances around the island, and probably designated the area around modern Potamia (Salviat and Servais 1964, 276–84; Graham 1978, 88–89).
