Lake Bistonis (modern Vistonida), near the ancient city of DICAEA in THRACE, occupying the gap between the AEGEAN coast and the foothills of Mt. RHODOPE (BA 51 E2; Müller I, 44–45). Herodotus mentions Bistonis as XERXES’ invasion army passes by (7.109.1). He describes it as “well‐known” (cf. Arist. Hist. an. 598a24) along with Lake ISMARIS, and notes that the TRAUSOS and COMPSATUS rivers empty into Lake Bistonis.
