 Astraeus origins - TAFF
This theory seems unlikely, as in Ælian’s time this river was known as the Scirtus and there is no compelling reason why he should not have known of it, not least because of the problems it caused with its periodic flooding of the Via Egnatia, of which more later.
In yet a fifth theory Conrad Voss Bark [14] and Frederick Buller [15] agree that the Astræus is today the river Koutichas (Koutícha) a smaller tributary of the Regional Canal, further south from the Edhessaíos and Arapitsas.
According to Voljc, the Koutichas is too small to be of any importance, but in its favour it was the closest river to Berœa (apart from a very small brook which flows directly through the city) which drained into the Aliákmon during Ælian’s time.
