Same or similar entry in other lexica; references at Photius alpha944 Theodoridis, where the correct form of the headword is deemed to be Hesychius' a)lei/a.
Halia "assembly of the people" (with a rough breathing) is the equivalent in many Doric states of Attic ekklesia (epsilon 470, epsilon 471): see e.g. the putative decree of Byzantium inserted into Demosthenes 18.90. In Ionic it is spelled a(li/h or h(li/h. See LSJ a(li/a (A).
