Lamptra

LAMPTRAI KATHYPERTHEN (Ancient demos) VARI
Lamptra (Aamptra, in inscr.; Aampra, in Strab. &c.), the name of two demi, Upper Lamptra (Aamptra kathuperthen), and Lower or Maritime Lamptra (Aamptra hupenerthen or paralios). These places were between Anagyrus, Thorae, and Aegilia. (Strab. l. c.) Upper Lamptra was probably situated at Lamorika, a village between three and four miles from the sea, at the south-eastern extremity of Mt. Hymettus; and Lower Lamptra on the coast. At Lamptra the grave of Cranaus was shown. (Paus. i. 31. § 2; Steph.; Hesych.; Harpocr.; Suid.; Phot.)
