City on the PALLENE peninsula in northern Greece (ba 51 A4). XERXES’ fleet picks up troops from Aphytis and other CITIES in the region after it passes through the ATHOS canal in 480 BCE (7.123.1). The city was founded in the eighth century; it was known for a sanctuary of DIONYSUS (Xen. Hell. 5.3.19) and, at least from the fourth century, its devotion to Zeus AMMON (Tsigarida 2011, 143–45; cf. Paus. 3.18.3). Aphytis was a particularly loyal member of the DELIAN LEAGUE.
