ERITION (Ancient city) THESSALIA
A town of Perrhaebia in Thessaly, appears to have been near Cyretiae, since it
was taken along with the latter town by M. Baebius in B.C. 191. (Liv. xxxvi. 13.)
Leake places it at Paleokastro, a village above Sykia, on the left bank of the
Vurgaris, a river of Tripolitis. In the church of St. George, which occupies the
site of the ancient Cyretiae, Leake noticed an inscribed stone, on which the name
of Apollodorus is followed by a word beginning ERE, which he conjectures with
much probability may be the place called Eritium by Livy.
