Boucheta, Bucheta
It is a city of Epeiros; the word is neuter and plural. Philochoros says that it got its name because Themis went there, mounted on an ox [e)pi\ boo\s o)xoume/nhn], during the flood of Deukalion.
Βούχετα· πόλις ἐστὶ τῆς Ἠπείρου, οὐδετέρως καὶ πληθυντικῶς λεγομένη· ἥν φησι Φιλόχορος ὠνομάσθαι διὰ τὸ τὴν Θέμιν ἐπὶ βοὸς ὀχουμένην ἐλθεῖν ἐκεῖ κατὰ τὸν Δευκαλίωνος κατακλυσμόν.
