ΧΑΡΑΔΡΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΠΑΡΝΑΣΣΙΔΑ
Charadra is twenty stades distant (from Lilaea), situated on the top of a lofty crag. The inhabitants are badly off for water; their drinking water is the river Charadrus, and they have to go down about three stades to reach it. This river is a tributary of the Cephisus, and it seems to me that the town was named after the Charadrus. In the market-place at Charadra are altars of Heroes, as they are called, said by some to be the Dioscuri, by others to be local heroes (Paus. 10,33,1).
