Βηρυτός, πόλις Φοινίκης, ἐκ μικρᾶς μεγάλη, κτίσμα Κρόνου. ἐκλήθη δὲ διὰ τὸ εὔυδρον· βὴρ γὰρ τὸ φρέαρ παρ´ αὐτοῖς. Ἱστιαῖος δ´ ἐν πρώτῃ τὴν ἰσχὺν βηρούτ Φοίνικας ὀνομάζειν, ἀφ´ οὗ καὶ τὴν πόλιν, ὡς Ἑλλάδιός φησιν. ὁ πολίτης Βηρύτιος ὡς Ἀζώτιος Αἰγύπτιος. σεσημείωται τὸ Μιλήσιος ἐν τοῖς τοπικοῖς ὅτι ἐτράπη, ὡς τὸ Θεοδόσιος [Ἀθανάσιος Ἀμβρόσιος,] τὸ γὰρ θεόδοτος καὶ ἀθάνατος καὶ ἄμβροτος σύνθετα. τὸ δὲ χαρίσιος οὐ τοπικόν. περὶ τοῦ Περκώσιος ἐροῦμεν. τὸ δὲ « υ » μακρόν, Διονύσιος ὁ περιηγητής “καὶ Τύρον ὠγυγίην Βηρυτοῦ τ´ αἶαν ἐραννήν”. ὀξύνεται δ´ ὡς τρισύλλαβον καὶ μακρὸν ἔχει τὸ « υ », ὡς τὸ κωκυτός γωρυτός Καρδυτός πόλις. τὸ Σεβέννυτος τετρασύλλαβον. ἔστι καὶ πόλις Ἀραβίας, ἡ πρότερον καλουμένη Διόσπολις. τὸ ἐθνικὸν τὸ αὐτό.
