Roller, commenting on Strabo 9.5.15, notes that the existence of this city cannot be guaranteed. It is possible that it was conjectured on the basis of local references to an "Aphrodite Neleia", but this epithet would likely have reflected the presence of hero cult to Neleus rather than a local toponym (p. 570).
