Azeia

Azeia (Ancient Greek: Ἄζεια) was a town of the ancient Troad.^[1]

It was a member of the Delian League; the inhabitants of Azeia are cited in the tribute records of Athens between the years 452/1 and 415/4 BCE.^[1] The inhabitants are supposed to be identified with the demonym Azeiotai (Ἀζειώται) mentioned by Stephanus of Byzantium, quoting a fragment of Hellanicus of Lesbos.^[2] It has also been related to the patronymic "Azida", mentioned by Homer in the Iliad.^[3]

Its site is unlocated.^[1]
