Mesatis

Mesatis ({{langx|grc|Μεσάτις}}) was a town of ancient Achaea, in the neighbourhood of Patrae. It is said to have been founded by the Ionians, when they occupied the country. After their expulsion,, the Achaean hero Patreus withdrew the inhabitants from Antheia and Mesatis to Aroë, which he enlarged and called Patrae after himself. The city's acropolis probably continued to be called Aroë, which was often synonymous with Patrae.{{Cite Pausanias|7|18|2}} et seq. In the war between the Achaeans and the Romans, Patrae suffered so severely that most residents left for the surrounding villages of Mesatis, Antheia, Bolina, Argyra, and Arba.{{Cite Polybius|5.2, 3, 28, 40.3}}{{Cite Pausanias|7|18|6}}
