Νικηφόριον, οὕτως ἡ Κωνσταντῖνα ἡ περὶ Ἔδεσσαν πόλις, ὡς Οὐράνιος. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Νικηφόριος ὡς Βυζάντιος.
Herodian
…τρίτη Σικελίας. τετάρτη Καμπανίας. παλινδόριον τὸ εἰργασμένον δέρμα, κιχόριον εἶδος βοτάνης. Ἀνακτόριον Ἀκαρνανίας πόλις, Κορινθίων ἄποικος. Θουκυδίδης τετάρτῃ (c. 49). ἀρσενικῶς παρὰ Σοφοκλεῖ. Χαλκητόριον πόλις Κρήτης. Νικηφόριον. οὕτως ἡ Κωνσταντῖνα ἡ περὶ Ἔδεσσαν πόλις. Βοσπόριον τοῦ Βυζαντίου λιμήν, ὃς καὶ Βόσπορος λέγεται. Ἀμόριον πόλις τῆς μεγάλης Φρυγίας. Στράβων δωδεκάτῃ. Φιληνόριον
