Berenicidae
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Berenicidae or Berenikidai (Ancient Greek: Βερενικίδαι) was a deme of ancient Attica, of the tribe of Ptolemais, sending one delegate to the Athenian Boule.[1] It was established in 224/3 BCE and named after Berenice II of Egypt, wife of Ptolemy II, after whom the tribe was named.[1]
Its site is unlocated,[2] but probably near Eleusis, as inscriptions referring to the place have been found in the vicinity.[1]
