EGIES (Ancient city) GYTHIO
Aegaeae (Aighiai, Paus. iii. 21. § 5; Haigaial, Strab. p. 364: Limni).
A town of Laconia, at the distance of 30 stadia from Gythium, supposed to be the
same as the Homeric Augeiae. (Angelhai, Il. ii. 583; comp. Steph. B. s. v.) It
possessed a temple and lake of Neptune. Its site is placed by the French Commission
at Limni, so called from an extensive marsh in the valley of the eastern branch
of the river of Passava.
