Aigeis
Aigeis was a tribe (phyle) of Ancient Athens which contained twenty demes: Lower and Upper Ankyle, Araphen, Bate, Diomeia, Erchia, Erikeia, Gargettos, Halai, Hestiaia, Ikarion, Ionidai, Kollytos, Kolonos, Kydantidai, Myrrhinoutta, Otryne, Phegaia, Philaidai, Plotheia.[1]
The quota of demes for Aigeis showed the greatest variety of all the phyles during the first and second periods (343–253 BC) of bouleutic government.[2]
Of the deme Ankylē, an individual is known, Polystratos, who owned land within that deme.[3]
An individual named Hagnias II had an estate within the deme Araphen.[4]
At the time of the publication of a source published during 1851, the location of Bate was unknown.[5]
Erchia, Ikarion, Phegaia were some of the larger demes of the tribe.[2]
