PAROECO´POLIS(Παροικόπολις, Ptol. 3.13.30), a town of Sintice, in Macedonia, on the right of the river Strymon. Nigríta, on the road from Saloníkito Seres, was either TRISTOLUS(Τρίστολος, Ptol. l. c.) or Paroecopolis, for these are the only two towns besides Heracleia which Ptolemy assigns to Sintice. If Nigrítabe assigned to Tristolus, Paroecopolis will be represented by Skaftscha, which lies to the N. of the former town. (Leake, Northern Greece, vol. 3. p. 229.)
