Script error: No such module "redirect hatnote". Script error: No such module "Coordinates". Pindos or Pindus (Greek: Script error: No such module "Lang".), also called Acyphas or Akyphas (Script error: No such module "Lang".), was an ancient city and polis (city-state)[1] of Greece, one of the towns of the tetrapolis of Doris, situated upon a river of the same name, which flows into the Cephissus near Lilaea. Strabo, Theopompus, and Stephanus of Byzantium call the city Akyphas.[2] In one passage Strabo says that Pindus lay above Erineus, and in another he places it in the district of Oetaea; it is, therefore, probable that the town stood in the upper part of the valley, near the sources of the river in the mountain.[3][4][5][6][7]

The ancient city was situated at a site called Ano Kastelli or Pyrgos,[8][9] approximately Script error: No such module "convert". southwest of Kastellia, and approximately Script error: No such module "convert". northwest of Gravia.
