Town of ancient Ionia
Airai (
Chians caused the cities of Lebedus and Airai, until then allies of Athens, to revolt against it. Then the Athenian Diomedon commanded the ten ships and attacked Airai, but was unable to take it.[3] In Strabo's time it was a small town that belonged to Teos.[4] Airai's silver and bronze coins dating from the 4th century BCE bearing the inscription «ΑΙΡΑΙΩΝ» survive.[2]
Its site is located near the modern Aşağı Demirci, İzmir Province, Turkey.[5][6]
