Βοιόν, ἣν Ὅμηρος ἔοικε Βοίβην λέγειν. ἔστι δὲ Δωρικὴ πόλις οὐδετέρως λεγομένη καὶ θηλυκῶς. ἔστι Βοιαί καὶ Κρήτης πόλις. ὁ πολίτης Βοιάτης, ὡς Καρύαι Καρυάτης, Πιτάναι Πιτανάτης, Θαλάμαι Θαλαμάτης. λέγεται καὶ Βοιαῖος, ὡς Ἔφορος. Ἡρωδιανὸς δὲ Βοιίτης φησίν, ἴσως παρὰ τὸ Βοιόν, ὡς λίκνον λικνίτης. εἰσὶ καὶ Βοιοί ἔθνος Κελτογαλατῶν. ἔστι καὶ Βοιανόν πόλις Σαυνιτῶν.

Boion: which Homer seems to call Boibe. It is a Dorian city said in the neuter and in the feminine. There is Boiai also a city of Crete. The citizen Boiates, as 'Karyai' 'Karyates', 'Pitanai' 'Pitanates', 'Thalamai' 'Thalamates'. Also said Boiaios, as Ephoros. Herodian says Boiites, perhaps from Boion, as 'liknon' 'liknites'. There are also Boioi a people of the Keltogalatians. There is also Boianon a city of the Samnites.
