ΑΙΞΩΝΗ (Αρχαίος δήμος) ΓΛΥΦΑΔΑ
Aexone (Aixone), situated on the coast south of Halimus (Strab.), probably near the promontory of Colias. Aexone was celebrated for its fisheries. (Athen. vii.; Hesych., Zonar., Suid., s. v. Aixonida)
ΑΛΙΜΟΥΣ (Αρχαίος δήμος) ΑΛΙΜΟΣ
(Halimous, Harpocrat.; Suid.; Steph.; Bekker, Anecd. i. p. 376; Schol. ad Aristoph. Av. 498), said to have been so called from ta halima, sea-weeds (Etym. M. s. v.), was situated on the coast between Phalerum and Aexone (Strab. ix. p. 398), at the distance of 35 stadia from the city (Dem. c. Eubulid. p. 1302), with temples of Demeter and Core (Paus. i. 31. § 1), and of Hercules. (Dem. pp. 1314, 1319.) Hence Leake places it at C. Kallimakhi, at the back of which rises a small but conspicuous hill, crowned with a church of St. Cosmas. Halimus was the demus of Thucydides the historian.

ΞΥΠΕΤΗ (Αρχαίος δήμος) ΜΟΣΧΑΤΟ
Xypete (Eupete, also Eupeteon, Strab. xiii. p. 604), said to have been likewise called Troja (Troia), because Teucrus led from hence an Attic colony into Phrygia. (Dionys. i. 61; Strab. l. c.; Steph. B.) It was apparently near Peiraeeus or Phalerum, since Xypete, Peiraeeus, Phalerum, and Thymoetadae formed the tetrakomoi (Pollux, iv. 105), who had a temple of Hercules in common (tetrakomon Herakleion, Steph. B. s. v. Echelidai; Bockh, Inscrip. vol. i. p. 123). Leake places Xypete at a remarkable insulated height, a mile from the head of the harbour of Peiraeeus, where are still seen some Hellenic foundations; but Ross remarks that this cannot be correct, since Xenophon (Hell. ii. 4. § 34) mentions this hill without giving its name, which he certainly would not have done if it had been Xypete.

an Amazonomachy, from later monuments, are now in the Peiraeus Museum.

ΞΥΠΕΤΗ (Αρχαίος δήμος) ΜΟΣΧΑΤΟ
Η οικιστική ζώνη του δήμου θα πρέπει να κάλυπτε περιοχές των σημερινών δήμων Καλλιθέας, Μοσχάτου και Αγίου Ιωάννου Ρέντη. Μαζί με τους Δήμους Φαλήρου, Πειραιώς και Θυμαιταδών αποτελούσαν το λεγόμενο "τετράκωμον" που ήταν θρησκευτική ένωση με κοινή τη λατρεία του Ηρακλή.
