Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Besa (Ancient Greek: Βῆσα) was a deme of ancient Athens, situated in the mining district, midway between Anaphlystus and Thoricus, and 300 stadia from Athens main city. Xenophon recommended the erection of a fortress at Besa, which would thus connect the two fortresses situated respectively at Anaphlystus and Thoricus.

Summary from Italiano / Italian Wikipedia (itwiki)

Besa (in greco antico: Βῆσ(σ)α^?, Bês(s)a) era un demo dell'Attica distante circa 300 stadi da Atene, situato nel distretto minerario del Laurio, dove si trovavano ventiquattro miniere, tra Anaflisto e Torico, probabilmente dove oggi si trova Kamarina. A sud confinava con Anfitrope, a nord con Torico, a sud con Sunio. Dato che in ognuno di questi due demi era sita una fortezza, Senofonte consigliò di edificarne una anche nel punto più alto di Besa, identificabile con Vigla Rimbari.
