TYPANEES (Ancient city) ILIA
Typaneae (Tupaneai, Polyb. Steph. B.; Tumpaneai, Strab.; Tumpaneia,
Ptol.: Eth. Tupaneates), a town of Triphylia in Elis, mentioned by Strabo along
with Hypana. It was taken by Philip in the Social War. It was situated in the
mountains in the interior of the country, but its exact site is uncertain. Leake
supposes it to be represented by the ruins near Platiana; but Boblaye supposes
these to be the remains of Aepy or Aepium, and that Typaneae stood on the hill
of Makrysia. (Strab. viii. p. 343; Polyb. iv. 77-79; Steph. B. s. v. Ptol. iii.
16. § 18; Leake, Morea, vol. ii. p. 82; Boblaye, Recherches, &c. p. 133; Ross,
Reisen im Peloponnes, p. 105; Curtius, Peloponnesos, vol. ii. p. 89.)
