Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Atlantes: a Libyan people, Herodotos in the fourth. The name is from the two mountains Atlantes. Rhianos in the second of the Achaika says there are Atarantes and after them Atlantes. And that these see no dreams. The possessive is said Atlantikos and the Atlantic Sea, and Atlantios and Atlantian sea.
