Leipsydrium

Leipsydrium, or Leipsydrion (Ancient Greek: Λειψύδριον), was a fortress of ancient Attica, in which the Alcmaeonidae fortified themselves after the death of Hipparchus, but was taken by the Peisistratidae after defeating the opposite party.

[1] Herodotus describes it as situated above Paeonia, and other authorities place it above Mount Parnes.
