METAGEI′TNIA (μεταγείτνια), a festival celebrated by the Attic demos Melite, in honour of Apollo Metageitnios. The chief solemnities consisted in offering sacrifices, and the festival was believed to commemorate the emigration (γειτνίασις πρὸς ἑτέρους) of the inhabitants of Melite to Diomis. (Plut. de Exsil. p601B; comp. Suidas, and Harpocrat. s.v. Μεταγειτνιών).
