ΑΝΑΒΑΛΟΣ (Πηγή) ΛΕΡΝΑ
Πηγή πόσιμου νερού μέσα στη θάλασσα (Παυσ. 8,7,2).
To the S. of Kyveri begins the rugged road across the mountains, anciently called Anigraea (Anigraia), running along the west into the plain of Thyrea. (Paus. ii. 38. § 4, seq.) Shortly before descending into the Thyreatic plain, the traveller arrives opposite the Anavolos (Anabolos), which is a copious source of fresh water rising in the sea, at a quarter of a mile from the narrow beach under the cliffs. Leake observed that it rose with such force as to form a convex surface, and to disturb the sea for several hundred feet round. It is evidently the exit of a subterraneous river of some magnitude, and thus corresponds with the Dine (Dine) of the ancients, which, according to Pausanias (viii. 7. § 2), is the outlet of the waters of the Argon Pedion in the Mantinice. (Leake, vol. ii. p. 469, seq.; Ross, p. 148, seq.)
