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.
