Buchetium Knowpia

Buchetium or Bouchetion (Ancient Greek: Βουχέτιον), or Buchaetium or Bouchaition (Βουχαίτιον),^[1] or Buchetum or Boucheton (Βουχετόν),^[2] or Bucheta or Boucheta (Βούχετα),^[3] was a city of the Cassopaei in ancient Thesprotia, a little above the sea.^[1]

According to the legend it got its name because Themis went there, mounted on an ox, during the flood of Deukalion.^[4]

Its site was occupied by the medieval settlement of Rogoi, near modern Nea Kerasounta.^[5]^[6]
