Ἀχαρναί, δῆμος τῆς Οἰνηίδος φυλῆς. Ἡρωδιανὸς Ἀχάρνης βαρύτονον. τὰ τοπικὰ ὡς ἀπὸ ὀξυτόνου, Ἀχαρνῆθεν. μήποτε δ´ ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἀχαρνεύς ἡ παραγωγή. ὁ δημότης Ἀχαρνεύς καὶ Ἀχαρνίτης καὶ Ἀχαρναῖος καὶ Ἀχαρνικός.
…ται. Αἰολεῖς δὲ φέρεναν αὐτὴν λέγουσιν ὁμοίως τῇ Ἔλεναν. * Ἔτι καὶ τὰ εἰς 'νη' μονογενῆ ὑπερδισύλλαβα ἔχοντα πρὸ τοῦ 'ν' 'ρ' βαρύνεται, Ἰέρνη νῆσος ἐν τῷ πέρατι πρὸς ταῖς δυσμαῖς, Ἰουέρνη πόλις ἐν τῷ πόντῳ τῷ Πρετανικῷ. Ἀχάρναι δῆμος τῆς Οἰνηΐδος φυλῆς.
