PYLOS TRIFYLIAS (Ancient city) ILIA
Pulos: Eth. Pulios. A town in Triphylia, mentioned only by Strabo,
and surnamed by him Triphuliakos, Arkadikos, and Lepreatikos. He describes it
as situated 30 stadia from the sea, on the rivers Mamathus and Arcadicus, west
of the mountain Minthe and north of Lepreum (viii. p. 344). Upon the conquest
of the Triphylian towns by the Eleians, Pylus was annexed to Lepreum (viii. p.
355). Leake observes that the village Tjorbadji, on the western extremity of Mount
Minthe, at the fork of two branches of the river of Ai Sidhero, seems to agree
in every respect with Strabo's description of this town. (Peloponnesiaca, p. 109.)
