Potamus Deiradiotes

Potamus Deiradiotes or Potamos Deiradiotes (Ancient Greek: Ποταμός Δειραδιῶτης), was a deme of ancient Attica. It lay on the east coast north of Thoricus, and was once a populous place: it was celebrated as containing the sepulchre of Ion.[1][2][3][4]

Potamus Deiradiotes is tentatively located north of Thorikos.[5][6]
