MALLAEA
MALLAEA,
MALLOEA, or MALOEA, a town of southern Perrhaebia in Thessaly, perhaps represented in name by
Mológhusta, which Leake conjectures to be a corruption of Malloea, with the addition of Augusta.
But as there are no remains of antiquity at
Mológhusta, Leake supposes Malloea to have occupied a height; on the opposite side of the river, where are some vestiges of ancient walls. (
