A large plain in CILICIA between the Sarus and Pyramus rivers, east of Tarsus (BA 66 G3; Müller II, 93–95). In Greek MYTH, Bellerophon famously wandered this plain (Hom. Il. 6.201). Historically it was an important military crossroads and staging point: the army of DARIUS I assembles at the Aleian Plain in 490 BCE before embarking for the AEGEAN SEA (6.95).
