Oeae

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oeae or Oiai (Ancient Greek: Οἶαι) was an ancient town on the island of Rhodes. It was a member of the Delian League since it is mentioned in the records of tributes to ancient Athens for 454/3 BCE, when it paid a phoros of 3,300 drachmae.[1] It is also mentioned in an inscription dated to the first century BCE.[2]

Its site is unlocated, but it has been suggested to be in the territory of Lindus.[1]
