**Attalis** ([Ancient Greek](/source/Ancient_Greek_language): Ἀτταλίς) was a tribe (*[phyle](/source/Phyle)*) added by the [ancient Athenians](/source/Ancient_Athenians) to the previous list of 11 Athenian tribes in the spring of 200 B.C.[1] just a few months after the "Macedonian" tribes [Antigonis and Demetrias](/source/Antigonis_and_Demetrias) were dissolved.[2] The tribe was named after [Attalos I](/source/Attalos_I), [King of Pergamon](/source/King_of_Pergamon), on occasion of his visit to Athens.[3]

The [Monument of the Eponymous Heroes](/source/Monument_of_the_Eponymous_Heroes) had two statues (of the Macedonian kings [Antigonos I](/source/Antigonos_I) and [Demetrios I](/source/Demetrius_I_Poliorcetes)) removed and one, for Attalos, added, starting the so-called Period IV.[4]

The Athenians placed the *phyle* on the 12th and last place of their list (three centuries later they were moved to the 13th place with introduction of [Adrianis](/source/Adrianis)),[3] but modern researchers use the [Roman numeral](/source/Roman_numeral) XIV to designate Attalis.

The 12 [demes](/source/Demes) that formed Attalis were collected from all 11 existing tribes ("rule-of-one"), with the twelfth, [Apollonieis](/source/Apollonieis), newly created and named after [Apollonis of Cyzicus](/source/Apollonis_of_Cyzicus), wife of Attalos I.[5]
