DO´LICHE
DO´LICHE (
Δολίχη), a town in Perrhaebia in Thessaly, situated at the foot of Mount Olympus. Doliche, with the two neighbouring towns of Azorus and Pythium, formed a tripolis. Leake identifies it with the small village of
Dúklista, “(where in a ruined church are two fragments of Doric columns 2 feet 8 inches in diameter, and in the burying-ground a sepulchral stone, together with some squared blocks.” (
