Alalkomenai (Paionien)
Alalkomenai ( Greek Ἀλαλκομεναί ) was an ancient Illyrian city.
Strabo reports that Alalkomenai was a town of the Illyrian tribe of the Deuriopes. It is said to have been located in the area called Deuriopos on the upper reaches of the Erigon River in the Paionien landscape . The cities of the Deuriopes, to which Strabo also counts Bryanion and Stubera in addition to Alalkomenai , are said to have been remarkably populous.
In the Lexicon of Stephanos of Byzantium , Alalkomenai is led under the form of the name Alkomenai (Greek Ἀλκομεναί ).
