PIALA
PIALA (
Πίαλα or
Πιάδδα,
Ptol. 6.16.6), a town of Serica, from which the people Pialae (
Πιάλαι or
Πιάδδαι), dwelling as far as the river Oechardus, derived their name. (
Ptol. 6.16.4.)
In some MSS. of Pliny (
6.17. s. 19) the Pialae are mentioned as a people in Scythia intra Imaum; but Sillig reads Psacae.
