Maatha

MARATHA (Ancient city) GORTYS
  Maatha (Maratha), a village of Arcadia, in the district Cynuria, between Buphagium and Gortys, perhaps represented by the ruin called the Castle of Leodhoro. (Paus. viii. 28. § 1; Leake, Morea, vol. ii. p. 66, Peloponnesiaca, p. 232.)

Harpers Dictionary of Classical Antiquities

Maratha

A town of Arcadia at the source of the Buphagus.

Present location

Agios Nikolaos hill

On this hill there was a fortified acropolis, which proves either that Maratha was a settlement and not just a location or that there was another ancient city that we know nothing about (Ekd. Athinon, Pausaniou Periegissis, vol. 4, p. 295, note 6).
