Epacria or Epakria ( Ancient Greek: Ἐπακρία) was one of the twelve districts of ancient Attica, [1] and subsequently, as appears from an inscription, a deme near Plotheia and Halae Araphenides. [2] As the name of a district, it was probably synonymous with Diacria. [3] An ancient grammarian describes the district of Epacria as bordering upon that of the Tetrapolis of Marathon. [4]
It is located in northeastern Attica. [5] [6]
