Δίπαια, πόλις Ἀρκαδίας. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Διπαιεύς. ἀλλὰ καὶ ἡ πόλις οὕτως. Stephanus of Byzantium
Dipaea or Dipaia (Ancient Greek: Δίπαια) was a town of ancient Arcadia in the district Maenalia, through whose territory flowed the river Helisson (present Elissonas), a tributary of the Alpheius. Its inhabitants removed to Megalopolis on the foundation of the latter city (371 BCE). It is frequently mentioned on account of a battle fought in its neighbourhood between the Lacedaemonians and all the Arcadians except the Mantineians, sometime between 479 and 464 BCE.[1][2]
Its site is located west of the modern Davia, near Piana.[3][4]
