The Thessalians, after their defeat, took refuge on Mount Narthacium, between which and a place named Pras, Agesilaus set up a trophy. On the following day he crossed the mountains of the Achaean Phthiotis. [1] [2] [3] [4] Narthacium is mentioned by Ptolemy. [5]
An inscription referring to Narthacium has been preserved, documented as IG (9) 2.89, dated to the year 140 BCE regarding a senatus consultum on a territorial dispute between Narthacium and Melitaea. [6]
The site of Narthacium is at a place called Limogardi (Λιμογάρδι), in the municipality of Lamia. [7] [8]
