Tripoeae or Tripoiai (Ancient Greek: Τριποιαί), or Tripoae or Tripoai (Τριποαί),[1] was a town of the Chalcidice in ancient Macedonia. It belonged to the Delian League since it appears in the tribute records of Athens of 421/0 BCE, where it paid a phoros of 800 drachmas.[1] It also appears in a treaty between the Athenians and Bottiaeans of 422 BCE,[2] from which it is deduced that Tripoeae was located in Bottiaea near Calindoia.[3] In the year 323 BCE, it was one of the cities delivered by Alexander the Great to the Macedonians.[4][3][clarification needed]
Its site is unlocated, but was probably located in the region of Bottiaea.[5][3]
