Buphagium (Vouphagion) (gr. Βουφάγιον), a town of Arcadia in the district Cynuria, situated near the sources of the river Buphagus (Βουφάγος), a tributary of the Alpheius, which formed the boundary between the territories of Heraea and Megalopolis. It is placed by Leake at Papadha, and by Boblaye, near Zula-Sarakini. (Paus. viii. 26. 8, 27. § 17, v. 7. § 1; Leake, Morea, vol. ii. pp. 67, 92, Peloponnesiaca, p. 233; Boblaye, Recherches, p. 161.)
Pausanias
On the road from Heraea to Megalopolis is Melaeneae. It was founded by Melaeneus, the son of Lycaon; in my time it was uninhabited, but there is plenty of water flowing over it. Forty stades above Melaeneae is Buphagium,and here is the source of the Buphagus, which flows down into the Alpheius. Near the source of the Buphagus is the boundary between Megalopolis and Heraea.
