Diacres

Diacres or Diakres (Ancient Greek: Διακρες), also known as Diacres of the Chalcidians (Διακρες ἀπὸ Χαλκιδέον), was a town of ancient Euboea. It is mentioned in an Athenian decree of the year 425/4 BCE that registers both Diacres and Diacria, therefore both are considered to be different places.^[1] Diacres belonged to the Delian League since it appears in the tribute lists of Athens between at least 434/3 BCE and 416/5 BCE.^[1]

Its exact location is unknown,^[2] but it is supposed to be located in the northern part of the territory of Chalcis.^[1]
