ΦΑΡΑΙ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΠΑΤΡΑ
Pharae, a city of the Achaeans, belongs to Patrae, having been given
to it by Augustus. The road from the city of Patrae to Pharae is a hundred and
fifty stades, while Pharae is about seventy stades inland from the coast. Near
to Pharae runs the river Pierus, which in my opinion is the same as the one flowing
past the ruins of Olenus, called by the men of the coast the Peirus. Near the
river is a grove of plane-trees, most of which are hollow through age, and so
huge that they actually feast in the holes, and those who have a mind to do so
sleep there as well... I could not discover whether the founder of Pharae was
Phares, son of Phylodameia, daughter of Danais, or someone else with the same
name.
