FALESSIE (Ancient city) FALESSIA
Phalaeseae (Phalaisiai: Eth. Phalaisieus), a town of Arcadia, in the district Maleatis on the road from Megalopolis to Sparta, 20 stadia from the Hermaeum towards Belbina. Leake originally placed it near Gardhiki, but subsequently a little to the eastward of Bura, where Gell remarked some Hellenic remains among the ruins of the Buzeika Kalyvia. (Paus. viii. 35. § 3; Steph. B. s. v.; Leake, Morea, vol. ii. p. 298; Peloponnesiaca, p. 237.)

KROMI (Ancient city) FALESSIA
Cromnus, Kromoi, Kromnos, Kromna. A town of Arcadia on the frontiers
of Messenia, the inhabitants of which were removed to Megalopolis, on the foundation
of the latter city in B.C. 371. Its territory is called Cromitis (Kromitis) by
Pausanias. It is placed by Boblaye at Neockhorio, but by Leake at Samara, a little
westward of Londari, since the latter writer conceives it to have been on the
route leading from Megalopolis to Carnasium, and not on the one leading to Messene.

VELEMINA (Ancient city) FALESSIA
Belmina, Belbina: Eth. Belbinetes (Steph. B.). A town in the NW. frontier
of Laconia, the territory of which was called Belminatis. (Belminatis, Polyb.
ii. 54; Strab. viii. p. 343.) It was originally an Arcadian town, but was conquered
by the Lacedaemonians at an early period, and annexed to their territory; although
Pausanias does not believe this statement. (Paus. viii. 35. § 4.) After the battle
of Leuctra Belbina was restored to Arcadia; most of its inhabitants were removed
to the newly founded city of Megalopolis; and the place continued to be a dependency
of the latter city. (Paus. viii. 27. § 4; Plut. Cleom. 4; Polyb. ii. 54.) In the
wars of the Achaean league, the Belminatis was a constant source of contention
between the Spartans and Achaeans. Under Machanidas or Nabis, the tyrants of Sparta,
the Belminatis was again annexed to Laconia; but upon the subjugation of Sparta
by Philopoemen in B.C. 188, the Belminatis was once more annexed to the territory
of Megalopolis. (Liv. xxxviii. 34.) The Belminatis is a mountainous district,
in which the Eurotas takes its rise from many springs. (Strab. l. c.; Paus. iii.
21. § 3.) The mountains of Belemina, now called Tzimbaru, rise to the height of
4108 feet. Belemina is said by Pausanias to have been 100 stadia from Pellana,
and is plated by Leake on the summit of Mount Khelmos, upon which there are Hellenic
remains.
