Larisa is also called Phrikonis and 'Phrikonitis'. So it ought to be 'Phrikieus', and the feminine 'Phrikias'. It was named from Phrikios the Centaur, whom Heracles killed. The inhabitants 'Phrikonees' and 'Phrikoneis'. It is also called 'Phrikeion', which was also named Drios. It is also said 'Phrikonia' and 'Phrikonites' and 'Phrikoniates'.
