Strymonii

STRYMO´NII(Στρυμόνιοι), the name by which, according to tradition, the Bithynians in Asia originally were called, because they had immigrated into Asia from the country about the Strymon in Europe. (Hdt. 7.75; Steph. B. s. v. Στρυμών.) Pliny (Plin. Nat. 5.40) further states that Bithynia was called by some Strymonis.
