Ἀφυταῖος, more early Ἀφυτιεύς, Ἀφυτεύς, Ἀφυτήσιος: A´thyto, Leake, Northern Greece, vol. 3. p. 156), a town on the eastern side of the peninsula Pallene, in Macedonia, a little below Potidaea. (Hdt. 7.123: Thuc. 1.64; Strab. 7. p. 330.) Xenophon (Xen. Hell. 5.3.19) says that it possessed a temple of Dionysius, to which the Spartan king Agesipolis desired to be removed before his death; but it was more celebrated for its temple of Ammon, whose head appears on its coins.
