Erchia

Erchia or Erkhia (Ancient Greek: Ἐρχία;[a][1] also spelled Ἔρχεια[2] and Ἑρχιά[3]) was a deme of ancient Attica, of the phyle of Aegeis, sending six or seven delegates to the Athenian Boule, but eleven delegates after 307/6 BCE.[4] According to Stephanus of Byzantium, in Greek mythology, the name comes from an inhabitant of the deme who hosted Demeter.[5]
