Notes:
The "Aleian" plain, located by
Homer (
Iliad 6.201) in
Lycia but more exactly in
Cilicia (
Herodotus 6.95.1;
Strabo 14.5.17 (676); Arrian,
Anabasis 2.5.8; Steph. Byz. s.v.
Halai), literally means "wandering" - though
Stephanus of
Byzantium derived the adjective, more prosaically, from the nearby city.
cf. generally
alpha 1167.
