Needs references: the ancient testimonia (which eventually became a little confused) are usefully gathered by F. Frost in, "Skyllaieis, A District of Troizenia," AJA 84 (1980), pp. 186-88, esp. map on p. 186. (http://www.jstor.org/stable/504269?seq=1)
Incidentally, that note postulates an ancient place, for which we do not have testimonia, the district of the Skyllaieis, matching it to archaeological remains visible on Google Earth, 23°29'39.67"E, 37°25'28.11"N.
