[12]
The territory of Aegeira is bounded by that of Pellene , which is the last city of Achaia in the direction of Sicyon and the Argolid . The city got its name, according to the account of the Pellenians, from Pallas, who was, they say, one of the Titans, but the Argives think it was from Pellen, an Argive . And they say that he was the son of Phorbas, the son of Triopas.
