Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Physkos: Physkos, a city of Locris, from Physkos son of Aitolos of Amphiktyon son of Deukalion. There is also another Physkos, a city of Caria. There is also a harbour of Rhodes. Physkos is also said in the masculine. "Physkos, from whom the Leleges, who are now Locrians..." But Rhianus calls them Physkeis. There is also another of Macedonia, which Theagenes mentions in the Makedonika. And the people Physkoi and 'Lokroi'. There is also a river Physkos, as Sophainetos says in the Anabasis of Cyrus.
