Nonacris (Orchomenus)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nonacris or Nonakris (Ancient Greek: Νώνακρις) was a town of ancient Arcadia in the territory of Orchomenus. With Dipoena and Calliae, it formed the Arcadian Tripolis.[1] Its population was translated to the newly formed city of Megalopolis upon the foundation of the latter city in 371 BCE.
