    “Although we have no written evidence to confirm that Neapolis was a Thrasian colony, there can be no doubt that it was. It was so named by the colonists in order, probably, to denote that it was for them a 'new city', as opposed to their 'old' one on Thrasos... Neapolis seems to have severed all dependence on Thrasos very quickly.”
