To the north it was joined by Crestonia . The Echeidorus , which flowed into the Thermaic Gulf near the marshes of the Axios, had its sources in Crestonia. The pass of Aulon or Arethusa Mygdonia Arethusa was probably the boundary of Mygdonia towards Bisaltia . The maritime part of Mygdonia formed a district called Amphaxitis , a distinction which first occurs in Polybius , who divides all the great plain at the head of the Thermaic gulf into Amphaxitis and Bottiaea , and which is found three centuries later in Ptolemy . The latter introduces Amphaxitis twice under the subdivisions of Macedonia in one instance placing the mouths of the Echidorus and Axios in Amphaxitis, and mentioning Thessalonica as the only town in the district, which agrees with Polybius and with Strabo . In another place Ptolemy includes Stageira and Arethusa in Amphaxitis, which, if correct, would indicate that a portion of Amphaxitis, very distant from the Axios, was separated from the remainder by a part of Mygdonia but since this is improbable, the word is perhaps an error of the text.
