Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Daphne: the most famous suburb of Antioch, metropolis of the East. The ethnonym is 'Daphnites', and the possessive is 'Daphnitikos'. There is also another Daphne, a locality in Lykia. There is also another near Pelousion, so named because of the many laurels growing there. The inhabitants are 'Daphnaioi'. There is also a harbour, Daphne Mainomene, at the mouth of the Black Sea, on the right as one sails up. There is also a suburb, Daphne, at the mouth of the Black Sea, on the left for those going up towards Anaplous. [It is called Sergion.]
