Palakion
text:
Palakion (Παλάκιον), according to Strabo, was a Scythian fortress in the steppes of Crimea. The only information about it is from an inscription on the gravestone of a dweller of Chersonesos who died in a battle at the walls of Palakion. Strabo suggests that Palakion, Chabon (Chabaioi) and Scythian Neapolis were named after sons of Scythian ruler Skilurus. Peter Simon Pallas speculated that the name of Balaklava is a corruption of 'Palakion'. There is no historical evidence to this.
