PHALACRA

PHALACRA (Φαλάκρα), a promontory of Mount Ida, in Mysia, of which the exact position is unknown. (Eustath. ad Hom. Il. 8.47; Schol. ad Nicand. Alexiph. 40; Tzetz. ad Lycoph. 40, 1170.) Stephanus Byz., who mentions it under the name Phalacrae, states that all barren and sterile mountains were called Phalacra.
