Mellisurgis

Mellisurgis was a town on the road from Thessalonica to Apollonia of Mygdonia, which occurs in two of the Itineraries (Itin. Anton.; Peut. Tab.), at a distance of 20 M. P. from Thessalonica. By the mid-19th century, it still preserved its ancient name in the usual Romaic form of Melissurgús, and was inhabited by honeymakers, as the word implies. (Leake, North. Greece, vol. iii. p. 461; Tafel, de Viae Egnat. Part. Orient. p. 5.)
