A city in northern BOEOTIA (BA 55 E4; Müller I, 450–51), modern Kardhitsa/Akraiphnion. Herodotus mentions Acraephia once, while describing the location of the sanctuary of Ptoian APOLLO, situating it next to an unnamed mountain above Lake COPAIS (8.135.1; cf. Paus. 9.23.5 and Strabo 9.2.34/C413, who refer to Mt. Ptoion). Pausanias says that the city originally lay in Theban territory (9.23.5), which coheres with Herodotus’ note that the sanctuary belonged to the THEBANS.
