Paeonidae

PEONIDES (Ancient demos) ATTIKI
Paeonidae (Paionidai, Paus. ii. 18. § 9), apparently the same as the Paeonia (Paionie) of Herodotus (v. 62), who describes Leipsydrium as situated above Paeonia. It was perhaps on the site of the modern Menidhi, since we know that the modern Greeks frequently change p into m; thus Pentele is also pronounced Mentele.
