Phyllus or Phylos (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Φύλλος) was a city near Mount Phylleium in the district of Thessaliotis, in ancient Thessaly. Strabo says the city was noted for a temple of Apollo Phylleius. Statius calls this city Phylli.[1] The city is also cited by Stephanus of Byzantium.
The site of Phyllus is at Magoula Paliambela, a large tell in the modern municipal unit of Fyllo.[2]
