Thocnia
Template:Short description Thocnia or Thoknia (Template:Langx), or Thocneia or Thokneia (Θώκνεια), was a town of ancient Arcadia in the district Parrhasia, situated upon a height on the river Aminius, which flows into the Helisson (the present Elissonas), a tributary of the Alpheius. The town was said to have been founded by Thocnus, a son of Lycaon, and was deserted in the time of Pausanias (2nd century), as its inhabitants had been removed to Megalopolis.[1][2]
Its site is located near modern Thoknia, formerly called Bromosellas,[3][4] and renamed to reflect the association with the ancient town.
