Doulichion: one of the Echinades islands, also called Dolicha and Oxeiai, which the poet called Thoai. From Doulichios the son of Triptolemos. The citizen Doulichieus and Doulichiotes from 'Doulichie' by change, and Doulichietes. And Doulichis. Those in Doulichion were also called Epeioi, as Epaphroditos, citing Aristarchos who takes it thus.
