Pherai (Parthia)
text:
Only Stephanos Byzantios mentions the city Pherai: «εἰσὶ καὶ ἄλλαι Ἰαπυγίας καὶ Αἰτωλίας καὶ Παρθυαίων». It is unknown whether it was a Hellenistic military settlement. Thessalian cavalry men were in service of Alexander's army and his successors. Perhaps these Thessalians came from the homonymous city in Thessalia (Pherae) and established a colony in Parthia. There was also a Thessalian colony in Syria called Larissa.
