Greek & Roman Geography (ed. William Smith)

PERIDES (Ancient demos) ATTIKI
Titacidae (Titakidai), Perrhidae (Perrhidai), and Thyrgonidae (Thyrgonidai), were probably all in the neighbourhood of Aphidna. These three demi, together with Aphidna, are said to have been removed from the Aeantis to another tribe. (Harpocr. s. v. Thurgonidai.) Perrhidae is described as a demus in Aphidna (Hesych. Phavor. demos en Aphidnais); and that Titacidae was in the same locality may be inferred from the story of the capture of Aphidna by the Dioscuri in consequence of the treachery of Titacus. (Herod. ix. 73; Steph. s. v. Titakidai.)
