Eureaioi
Eureaioi (Ancient Greek: Εὐρεαῖοι) (or Eurea [Εὒρεα]; perhaps even Eureai [Εὐρεαῖ][1]) is the assumed name of a "possible"[2] ancient Greek city-state of Magnesia or Pelasgiotis in ancient Thessaly. The name Εὐρεαῖοι is not attested, but originates indirectly from minted coins dated to 4th century BCE bearing the legend «ΕΥΡΕΑΙΩΝ» (considered a demonym). Several scholars have made a few suggestions about the community's location, or have connected it with other existing ancient towns of the area.[2]
