PHAE^ Bceotise.
Note,—In the time of Strabo, Pharse was one of four subordinate rw/iai
of the district of
Tanagra. But this silver coin, and the ancient walls still extant at Andritza (;Me Tr. in N. Greece,
II. p. 468), attest that Pharse was once a Boeotian town of greater importance, and render not
unlikely the supposition mentioned by Strabo (p. 405), that instead of NliroV re ?a9fi/v in the Catalogue,
we ought to read *apas re taOia^. There is a similar coin of Mycalessus, another of the
comse of the Tanagrice, of which walls are still extant.
Boeotian shield. R. *A, Diota.
PHARCADON Thessalise.
Note.—Some remains of Pharcadon are found near Gritziano, a few miles from the left bank of
the Peneius, between Pelinnseum and Atrax {Vide Tr. in N. Greece, IV. p. 317).

Pallas, standing to r., her segis and its serpents projecting in front ; right hand

cadon.
PHARSALUS Thessalise.

p. 475, seq.
