City on the north coast of the Gulf of SINGUS (Chalcidice), between the ATHOS and SITHONIA peninsulas, in northern Greece (BA 51 B4; Müller I, 150–51). XERXES’ fleet picked up troops from Assa and other CITIES in the region after it passed through the Athos CANAL in 480 BCE (7.122). This is probably the same city which appears as “Assera” in the Athenian Tribute Lists (e.g., IG I³ 266.II.26) and the historian THEOPOMPUS (BNJ 115 F147).
