PALEA (Ancient city) NIATA
Pleiai. A town of Laconia, mentioned by Livy (xxxv. 27) as the place
where Nabis pitched his camp in B.C. 192, must have been situated in the plain
of Leuce, which lay between Acriae and Asopus. The name of the place occurs in
an inscription (Bockh, Inscr. no. 1444). From its position it would appear to
be the same as the palaia kome of Pausanias (iii. 22. § 6), in which passage Curtius
suggests that we might perhaps read Pleiai koen.
