'''Attalis''' ({{langx|grc|Ἀτταλίς}}) was a tribe ({{Transliteration|grc|[[phyle]]}}) added by the [[ancient Athenians]] to the previous list of 11 Athenian tribes in the spring of 200 B.C.{{sfn|Traill|1975|p=30}} just a few months after the "Macedonian" tribes [[Antigonis and Demetrias]] were dissolved.{{sfn|Traill|1975|p=xvi}} The tribe was named after [[Attalos I]], [[King of Pergamon]], on occasion of his visit to Athens.{{sfn|Bates|1898|p=46}}

The [[Monument of the Eponymous Heroes]] had two statues (of the Macedonian kings [[Antigonos I]] and [[Demetrius I Poliorcetes|Demetrios I]]) removed and one, for Attalos, added, starting the so-called Period IV.{{sfn|Mattusch|1996|p=50}}

The Athenians placed the {{Transliteration|grc|phyle}} on the 12th and last place of their list (three centuries later they were moved to the 13th place with introduction of [[Adrianis]]),{{sfn|Bates|1898|p=46}} but modern researchers use the [[Roman numeral]] XIV to designate Attalis.

The 12 [[demes]] that formed Attalis were collected from all 11<!-- Traill has a typo on p. 103 --> existing tribes ("rule-of-one"), with the twelfth, [[Apollonieis]], newly created and named after [[Apollonis of Cyzicus]], wife of Attalos I.{{sfn|Traill|1975|p=31}}
