Ἀλέα, πόλις Ἀρκαδίας, Θεόπομπος πεντηκοστῇ ἕκτῃ. ἔστι καὶ Θετταλίας. καὶ ἄλλη Καρπητανῶν ἔθνους Κελτικοῦ. ὁ πολίτης Ἀλεός ὁμοφώνως τῷ οἰκιστῇ ὡς Δάρδανος Δαναός. ἔστι καὶ ἄλλο ἐθνικὸν Ἀλεάτης ὡς τῆς Τεγέας Τεγεάτης. Ἡρωδιανὸς δέ φησιν “ἀλέα ἐπὶ τῆς θερμασίας καὶ ὁπότε δηλοῖ τὴν φυγὴν βαρύνεται, ἐπὶ δὲ τῆς Ἀθηνᾶς ὀξύνεται”. ἐχρῆν δὲ καὶ τοῦτο βαρύνειν. ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἀλεοῦ λέγεται καὶ Ἀλεαῖος.
