In 1758, in the 10th edition of Systema Naturae, the Swedish scientist and taxonomist Carl Linnaeus described the class "Vermes" as:

Animals of slow motion, soft substance, able to increase their bulk and restore parts which have been destroyed, extremely tenacious of life, and the inhabitants of moist places. Many of them are without a distinct head, and most of them without feet. They are principally distinguished by their tentacles. By the Ancients they were not improperly called imperfect animals, as being destitute of ears, nose, head, eyes and legs; and are therefore totally distinct from Insects.

Phola was a town and polis (city-state) of ancient Aetolia. It is known only through epigraphic testimony among which we can highlight two funerary inscriptions of the classical period and other inscriptions of the Hellenistic period reference a strategos and a scribe (grammateos) from Phola.
