Doberus or Doberos ( Ancient Greek: Δόβηρος) was a town of Paeonia, which Sitalces reached after crossing Mount Cercine, and where many troops and additional volunteers reached him, making up his full total. [1] Hierocles calls the town Diaborus or Diaboros (Διάβορος) and names it next to Idomenae among the towns of Macedonia Prima under the Byzantine Empire; this, coupled with the statement of Ptolemy that it belonged to the Aestraei, [2] would seem to show that Doberus was near the modern Dojran. Suda called it Dobeira (Δόβειρα). [3]
Doberus was the seat of a bishop in antiquity. In modern times, it is a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church. [4]
The site of Doberus is near the modern Bansko, North Macedonia. [5] [6]
