Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Bouthoe: a city of Illyris, as Philon, because Kadmos, riding on a yoke of oxen, swiftly accomplished the journey to the Illyrians. Others Kadmos named it from the Egyptian Bouto, and being corrupted it is called Bouthoe. It has at its recess the city Rhizon and a homonymous river. The ethnonym Bouthoaios.
