A city between Attica and Boiotia.1 Thucydides names the place in the neuter, but Menander in the masculine.2
Greek original · Adler’s text
Πάνακτος· πόλις μεταξὺ τῆς Ἀττικῆς καὶ τῆς Βοιωτίας. Θουκυδίδης δὲ καὶ οὐδετέρως καλεῖ τὸ χωρίον, Μένανδρος δὲ ἀρρενικῶς.

Notes (2)
- From Harpokration s.v., commenting on Demosthenes 54.3 (web address 1) -- where the name is in the accusative case and its gender therefore indeterminable. The neuter version, Panakton, appears to be the more authentic.
