Apollas

Apollas or Apellas (Ancient Greek: Ἀπολλᾶς or Ancient Greek: Ἀπελλᾶς) was the author of a work On the Cities in the Peloponnese (Περὶ τῶν ἐν Πελοποννήσῳ πόλεων) about the Peloponnese peninsula,[1] and On Delphi (Δελφικά).[2] He appears to be the same as Apeilas, the geographer, of Cyrene mentioned in other manuscripts.[3][4][5]

gollark: What would be neat is similar choice of *governance*, somehow, so people who liked lots of state intervention could live somewhere with that and people who don't can live elsewhere, but I don't think that would be very practical to implement.
gollark: At least you can complain about corporations, or a decent amount of the time switch to different ones.
