Argedava (Argedauon, Sargedava, Sargedauon, Zargedava, Zargedauon, ) was potentially an important Dacian town mentioned in the Decree of Dionysopolis (48 BC), and maybe located at Popești, a district in the town of Mihăilești, Giurgiu County, Muntenia, Romania.
== Decree of Dionysopolis == The decree, a fragmentary marble inscription, is located in the National Museum in Sofia. It was written by the citizens of Dionysopolis to Akornion, who is said in the text to have met somebody's father in Argedauon. In a later section, the inscription also refers to the Dacian king Burebista and mentions that Akornion was his chief adviser (, literally "first friend"). According to the text, Akornion was also sent as an ambassador of Burebista to Pompey.
