Γάργαρα, πόλις τῆς Τρωάδος ἐπὶ τῇ ἄκρᾳ τῆς Ἴδης, Παλαιγάργαρος καλουμένη, ἣν Αἰολικὴν ὀνομάζει Στράβων καὶ Ἑκαταῖος. Ἀλκμὰν δὲ θηλυκῶς τὴν Γάργαρόν φησιν. ἐν ᾗ κατῴκουν Λέλεγες. ὠνομάσθη δ´ ἀπὸ Γαργάρου τοῦ Διός, τοῦ ἐκ τῆς Θεσσαλίας, ἐν Λαρίσσῃ. ἐκεῖ καὶ Διότιμος ὁ Ἀδραμυττηνὸς ἐδίδασκε γράμματα, εἰς ὃν Ἄρατος εἶπεν “αἰάζω ὅτι μοῦνος ἐνὶ πέτρῃσι κάθηται παισὶν Γαργαρέων βῆτα καὶ ἄλφα λέγων”. καὶ Γάργαρα ἄκρα. Ἐπαφρόδιτος δέ φησιν ὅτι ἡ μὲν πόλις θηλυκῶς λέγεται, τὸ δ´ ἀκρωτήριον οὐδετέρως. Ἑλλάνικος δὲ Γάργασον ἔφη τὴν πόλιν διὰ τοῦ « σ », ἀλλ´ οἴομαι σφάλμα εἶναι. ἔστι καὶ Λαμψάκου πολισμάτιον Γάργαρον· ἔστι καὶ ἑτέρα τῆς Ἰταλίας, καὶ τῆς Ἠπείρου ἄλλη. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Γαργαρεύς, καὶ θηλυκῶς Γαργαρίς.
