Μίεζα, πόλις Μακεδονίας, ἣ Στρυμόνιον ἐκαλεῖτο, ἀπὸ Μιέζης θυγατρὸς Βέρητος τοῦ Μακεδόνος, ὡς Θεαγένης ἐν Μακεδονικοῖς. Βέρης γὰρ τρεῖς ἐγέννησε, Μίεζαν Βέροιαν Ὄλγανον· ἀφ´ οὗ ποταμὸς ἐπώνυμος καὶ πόλις Βέροια καὶ τόπος Στρυμόνος. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Μιεζεύς καὶ Μιεζαῖος· οὕτως γὰρ χρηματίζει Νικάνωρ, καθὰ Λούκιος.
Mieza: a city of Macedonia, which was called Strymonion, named after Mieza, daughter of Beretos son of Makedon, as Theagenes relates in his *Makedonika*. For Beres begot three children—Mieza, Beroia, and Olganos—from whom (are named) an eponymous river and the city Beroia and the place of Strymon. The ethnic (gentilic) is *Miezeus* and *Miezaios*; for thus Nikanor uses the name, as Lucius [reports].
