Herodian

…γὰρ λέγεσθαι ἐπεκράτησεν ἡ συνήθεια δισυλλάβως, οὐ Χαλδαίους. Μύνδος πόλις Καρίας. Ἑκαταῖος Ἀσίᾳ. Γόρδος ἔθνος, ὃ καὶ Γορδυαῖος καὶ Γόρδοχος καλεῖται. σεσημείωται τὸ Ἰνδός ποταμὸς καὶ ἐθνικὸν καὶ Ὀρδός ἔθνος Μακεδονίας. λέγονται καὶ Ὀρδαῖοι, ὡς Νίκανδρος. τὸ δὲ λορδός ἐπίθετον καὶ ὁ μυνδός ὁ ἄφωνος, ἀφ´ οὗ «μυνδότεροι νεπόδων» παρὰ Καλλιμάχῳ.
