Chalastra: a city in Thrace around the Thermaian gulf. Hekataios in his Europe: ‘in it is Therme, a city of Greeks [Thracians], and in Chalastre a city of Thracians’. Strabo in the seventh book calls it a city of Macedonia. It has been named after Chalastre. There is also a lake homonymous with the city. A citizen is a ‘Chalastraios’. Lykophron: ‘Both a Thesprotian and a Chalastraian lion.’ There is also a city ‘Chalastraia’, as from ‘Chalastraios’, he says. The one by the lake is Chalastraia, in which nitre occurs.
