Phrygia: Phrygia, two regions. Strabo: "for one Phrygia is called Greater, over which Midas reigned, and part of the other the Galatians occupied; the other is the Lesser, on the Hellespont around Olympus, which is also called Epiktetos ". Those from either are called Phryges and 'Mysoi'. They are also called Briges. The ethnonym 'Phryx' and 'Phrygios' and Phrygia a person and 'Phrygion', and 'Phrygikos' the possessive and 'Phrygike' and 'Phrygikon', and 'phrygizein' and 'phrygisti'. There is also Phrygia, a place on Oita, from Heracles having been burnt there. There is also Phrygia in the neuter, a place between Boeotia and Attica. The local form 'Phrygieus', as 'Megara' 'Megareus'.
