Psaphis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Psaphis (Ancient Greek: Ψαφίς) was originally a town of the Oropia, but subsequently a deme of ancient Attica. It lay between Oropus and Brauron, and was the last demus in the north-eastern district of Attica.[1]

The site of Psaphis is tentatively located at Revithia[2] or Limnionas.[3]
