Translation: Demosthenes in the eighth
Philippic [writes]: "of the wretched [cities] in Thrace - for what else could anyone call Drongilon and Kabyle and Masteira?".[1] But perhaps, instead of Masteira, one should write Basteira or Pisteira or Epimastos. We find these cites in
Anaximenes, in [book] seven of
Matters concerning Philip, but "Masteira" nowhere [else].[2]

Notes:
From Harpokration s.v.

delta 1531.
