Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Galepsos: a city in Thrace and of the Paionians. Hekataios in his Europe. Thucydides, book 4, mentions another: ‘and Galepsos not much later, and Oisyme’. [It was named after Galepsos, the son of Thasos and Telephe.] Words of more than two syllables ending in ‘-ψός’ are oxytone: ‘σκινδαψός’ (the name of an instrument and a proper name; it is also applied to nothing, as is ‘τραγέλαφος’), ‘χεραψός’, ‘Λυκαψός’. A citizen is a ‘Galepsios’.
