Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Onchestos: a sacred grove. Homer: “and Onchestos the holy, Poseidon’s glorious grove.” It lies in the territory of the Haliartians; and it is said to have been founded by Onchestos the Boeotian, as Hesiod states. There is also a city in Boeotia, as Pausanias says. Apollonius of Rhodes <***> says that Onchestos is a great city, between Haliartus and Akraiphiai. There is also a river in Thessaly. The ethnic is Onchestios. Pausanias.
