Pteleum (Elis)

Homer writes that it belonged to Nestor in the Catalogue of Ships in the Iliad.

[1] It is said by Strabo to have been a colony from the Thessalian Pteleum.

This town had disappeared in Strabo's time (first century CE); but its uninhabited woody site was still called Pteleasimum or Pteleasion.
