Φάληρον

Phaleron: a deme and harbour in Attica. Pausanias, book 1 of his Periegesis of Greece. Also in the plural, ‘Phalera’; Xenophon in his Hipparchikos. For the Athenians are called ‘Phalereis’ from ‘Phaleron’. Both the deme and the deme-member are also called ‘Phalereus’. ‘Phaleraios’ is also used, and the feminine is ‘Phaleris’. The locative terms are ‘Phalerothen’, ‘Phaleronde’, and ‘Phaleroi’; also ‘Phalerikon’. There is also a city in the land of the Opikoi, into which Parthenope the Siren was washed ashore; it is called Neapolis. There is also another in Thessaly near Oite, which Rhianos writes with α, saying ‘Phalaron’, and also ‘Phaleron’ with η.
