Translation blocked: Meineke adds a bracketed locative phrase '[πόλις Καρίας, ὅθεν]' that identifies Monogissa as a city of Caria (substantive addition). The lemma form shows a minor orthographic/punctuation difference (Μονόγισσα· vs Μονόγισα,). The remainder of the excerpt (Ἄρτεμις Μονογισηνή. ἵδρυμα Δαιδάλου... etc.) is identical.
Entities: Μονόγισσα (Monogissa) [place], Ἄρτεμις (Artemis) [deity], Μονογισηνή (Monogisene (epithet of Artemis)) [other], Δαίδαλος (Daedalus) [person], Κάρες (Carians) [people]
Etymologies: Borrowing Non Greek: For 'gissa' in the speech of the Carians is explained as 'stone'. And even now they call the flat and soft stones 'gissa'.; Morphological Composition: Monogissa; Artemis Monogisenē. The place-name Μονόγισσα (and the epithet Μονογισηνή) appears to be formed from mono- + 'gissa' (stone), i.e. 'single/one stone'.
