The largest river in MACEDONIA, modern Vardar (BA 50 C3; Müller I, 162). Herodotus describes the Axius as forming the border between the regions of MYGDONIA and BOTTIAEA (7.123.3; also Thuc. 2.99.4). Herodotus notes that, after the Persian fleet sailed around Chalcidice (480 BCE), they waited for XERXES and the army at THERME and nearby CITIES along the Axius (7.124). According to STRABO (7 F7a Radt), the PAEONIANS lived in the region Amphaxitis, so called because it was around (amphi‐) the Axius.
