village

Γενέα, κώμη Κορίνθου, ὁ οἰκήτωρ Γενεάτης. ἀφ´ οὗ παροιμία “εὐδαίμων ὁ Κόρινθος, ἐγὼ δ´ εἴην Γενεάτης”. τινὲς τὰς ἀπὸ ταύτης καλοῦσι Γενειάδας, ὡς Παρθένιος. τινὲς δὲ Τενέα γράφουσι.

Genea, a village in Corinth. Its inhabitant is called a 'Geneates'; hence the proverb, ‘Prosperous is Corinth, but I would be a Geneates.’ Some call the women from this village 'Geneiades', as per Parthenios. Others write 'Tenea'.

Etymologies

Category	Explanation
Unclear Metalinguistic	“A village of Corinth; its inhabitant is called a Geneates.” This identifies the place as a Corinthian village but does not explicitly derive the name’s origin.
Folk Etymology Narrative	“From it comes the proverb: ‘Happy is the Corinthian; would that I were a Geneates.’” The proverb explains an associated saying, not the linguistic formation of the place-name itself.
Morphological Composition	“Some call the women/people from this place Geneiades.” This records a derivative form based on the place-name, without explaining its ultimate origin.
Unclear Metalinguistic	“But some write Tenea.” This records a variant form of the name, without explaining its origin.
