Camacae or Kamakai (Ancient Greek: Καμακαί), also known as Cemacae or Kemakai (Κεμακαί), was a town of Bottiaea,[1] Chalcidice, in ancient Macedonia. It belonged to the Delian League since it appears in the tribute registers of Athens, although only once in the year 421/20 BCE, where it paid a phoros of 600 drachmas.[2] It is also cited in a treaty of alliance between the Athenians and Bottiaeans of the year 422 BCE[3] from which it is deduced that it belonged to the territory of Bottiaea and that was a neighbor of Calindoia, but its exact location is unknown. In the year 323 BCE, it was one of the cities delivered by Alexander the Great to Macedonians. [4][5]
Its site is unlocated.[1]
