ΞΥΝΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΥΠΑΤΗ
Xyniae (Xunia: Eth. Xunieus). A town near the southern confines of
Thessaly, and the district of the Aenianes (Liv. xxxiii. 3), which gave its name
to the lake Xynias (Xunias), which Stephanus confounds with the Boebeis (Apollon.
Rhod. i. 67; Catull. lxiii. 287; Steph. B. s. v. Xunia). Xynia, having been deserted
by its inhabitants, was plundered by the Aetolians in B.C. 198 (Liv. xxxii. 13).
In the following year Flamininus arrived at this place in three days' march from
Heraclea (Liv. xxxiii. 3; comp. Liv. xxxix. 26). The lake of Xynias is now called
Taukli, and is described as 6 miles in circumference. The site of the ancient
city is marked by some remains of ruined edifices upon a promontory or peninsula
in the lake. (Leake, Northern Greece, vol. i. p. 460, vol. iv. p. 517.)
