ΓΕΦΥΡΑΙΟΙ (Αρχαίος δήμος) ΑΤΤΙΚΗ
Gephyra (Gephura, Gephureis), a place in Attica at the bridge over
the Cephissus, on the sacred road from Athens to Eleusis, where the initiated
assailed passengers with vulgar abuse and raillery, hence called psephurismoi.
(Strab. ix. p. 404; Suid. s. v. Gephurizon; Hesych. s. v. Gephuristai.)
ΠΗΛΗΚΕΣ (Αρχαίος δήμος) ΑΙΓΑΛΕΩ
Peleces (Pelekes), three demi forming a community, as trikomol (Steph. B. s. v. Eurupidai), and probably, therefore, adjacent. If the reading in Thucydides (ii. 19) is correct, dia Kropeias, these demi should be placed in the north of the Athenian plain, but many editors read dia Kekropias. Stuart, who has been followed by most modern writers, was led, by similarity of name, to place Peleces at the modern Belikas, near Marusi; but Ross maintains that the name of this Albanian village has no connexion with Peleces.
