Oa: a deme of Attica, of the Pandionid tribe. Dionysios son of Tryphon says that the plural is spoken as Oaeis, †…†, as also many other (names). The demotic, however, is said as Oathen: “Damon son of Damonides, of Oa” (VS 37 A 1). And from the place-name likewise (i.e. the same form is used). But the other forms are Oaze, Oasi. It is also called Oē. There is also an Oē of the Oineid tribe; its demotic is Oēthen.
