Deipnias: a village in Thessaly near Larisa, where they say Apollo first dined when he returned, purified, from Tempe. It is also customary for the boy who carries the laurel to dine there when he arrives. Callimachos, book 4: ‘From there Deipnias has received him.’ The ethnonym is ‘Deipnieus’ (as in ‘Aphrodisieus’ and ‘Orthosieus’).
