Aristophanes [writes]: "so when [you will drive] the goats out of Phelleus, like your father, leather-jerkined".[2] Phelleus [was] a rough place, of this name, in Attica. Goats tend towards the rougher and more mountainous [terrain]. From this, Dorians call pumice rocks "phelletai". And [there is] a certain festival of
Dionysos called Phellos. And again [
Aristophanes writes]: "the Thracian girl of Strymodoros stealing [wood] out of the phelleus".[3]
Φελλέα: τὰ πετρώδη καὶ αἰγίβοτα χωρία, ὡς Ἰσαῖος. καὶ Φελλεύς, σκληρὸς ποσῶς καὶ πετρώδης τόπος. Ἀριστοφάνης: ὅταν μὲν οὖν τὰς αἶγας ἐκ τοῦ Φελλέως, ὥσπερ ὁ πατήρ σου διφθέραν ἐνημμένος. Φελλεὺς τόπος τῆς Ἀττικῆς οὕτω καλούμενος τραχύς. αἱ δὲ αἶγες πρὸς τὰ τραχύτερα καὶ ὀρεινότερα διάγουσιν. ἀπὸ τούτου δὲ φελλέτας λέγουσι Δωριεῖς τοὺς κισσηρώδεις λίθους. καὶ ἑορτή τις περὶ τὸν Διόνυσον, Φελλὸς καλούμενος. καὶ αὖθις: τὴν Στρυμοδώρου Θρᾷτταν ἐκ τοῦ φελλέως κλέπτουσαν.
