Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Scithae or Skithai (Ancient Greek: Σκίθαι) was a town of Chalcidice in ancient Macedonia. It is cited in a fragment of Theopompus collected by Stephanus of Byzantium, which locates it in Thrace, in the vicinity of Potidaea. The city also appears on coins; Scithaean silver coins dated around the year 500 BCE have been preserved.

Summary from Suomi / Finnish Wikipedia (fiwiki)

Skithai (m.kreik. Σκίθαι, lat. Scithae) oli antiikin aikainen kaupunki ja kaupunkivaltio (polis) Traakiassa, nykyisellä Chalkidikín niemimaalla Kreikassa. Sen tarkkaa sijaintia ei tunneta, mutta Stefanos Byzantionlainen sijoitti sen lähelle Poteidaiaa.
