Nicaea: a city of Bithynia, a colony of the Bottiaeans. It was formerly called Ankōrē, then Antigoneia, and later it was renamed Nicaea after the wife of Lysimachus. (2) [A Nicaea] of the Epicnemidian Locrians. (3) [A Nicaea] in Illyria. (4) [A Nicaea] among the Indians. (5) [A Nicaea] on the island of Cyrnus. (6) [A Nicaea] in Leuctra of Boeotia. (7) [A Nicaea] of Celtica, a colony of the Massaliots. (8) [A Nicaea] of Thrace. There are also other [cities called Nicaea] (or near Thermopylae and in Thrace). The word is accented proparoxytone: but if there is a form Nicaeus, the feminine is Nicaea. The citizen is Nicaieus, and also Nicaeus, in two ways. From this city were Isigonus, Asclepiades, Parthenius, and Apollodorus, and Epitherses, a grammarian who wrote on Attic, comic, and tragic diction.
