ΣΑΜΙΝΘΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΜΥΚΗΝΕΣ
Saminthus, Saminthos. A town in the Argeia, on the western edge of the Argive
plain, which was taken by Agis, when he marched from Phlius into the territory
of Argos in B.C. 418. (Thuc. v. 58.) Its position is uncertain. Leake, who supposes
Agis to have marched over Mt. Lyrceium and the adjoining hills, places it at Kutzopodhi (Koutsopodi)
(Morea, vol. ii. p. 415), and Ross at the village of Pheklia (Phychtia), on the southern
side of Mt. Tricaranon, across which is the shortest pass from the Phliasia into
the Argive plain.

ΦΥΧΤΙΑ (Χωριό) ΜΥΚΗΝΕΣ
Phyktia. The name of a modern village N of Argos which has been used to identify a blockhouse 4 km beyond it to the NW. 11.6 x 11.8 m in plan, the fort is built of polygonal, conglomerate blocks, with bulging faces and no attempt at coursing. The 3 m high wall rests on a two-course base at the lowest point and is topped with a course of slabs. The entrance door with a horizontal lintel is at the corner; the interior is divided into rooms. There is no evidence concerning the roof or upper story. The masonry and, in particular, projecting stone channels for the entry and exit of the water supply have been dated as no earlier than the 4th c. B.C. There are remains of two other blockhouses nearby.
