Phyllus or Phylos (Ancient Greek: Φύλλος) was a city near Mount Phylleium in the district of Thessaliotis, in ancient Thessaly.1 Strabo says the city was noted for a temple of Apollo Phylleius.1 Statius calls this city Phylli.2 The city is also cited by Stephanus of Byzantium.3
The site of Phyllus is at Magoula Paliambela, a large tell in the modern municipal unit of Fyllo.456
