Chaleion

Chaleion was an ancient Greek town of Ozolian Locris on the northern shore of the Gulf of Corinth, west of Delphi. It is known above all for a bronze tablet of the 5th century BCE recording its agreement with neighbouring Oeantheia on the seizure of property and the treatment of foreigners, a rare early example of Greek inter-state law.
