Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Dymanes: a tribe of the Dorians. They were three, Hylleis and Pamphyloi and Dymanes, from Herakles. And the Hyrnethia was added, as Ephoros in the first: "for Aigimios was king of the Dorians around Oite. He had two sons Pamphylos and Dyman, and he adopted Hyllos the son of Herakles as a third, rendering thanks because Herakles had restored him when expelled". The inhabitants Dymanes. And Dymanis the feminine: "set out now still far from the Dymanian mainland". And Dymaina. Euphorion in the Chiliades: "a deity... to the lock-loving Dymainai". The ethnics of the rest we shall give in the places concerning them.

… Βραχμάν Ἰνδικὸν ἔθνος σοφώτατον, οὓς καὶ Βράχμας καλοῦσιν. Γινδάν ἔθνος Λιβυκὸν λωτοφάγον «οἳ τὸν καρπὸν μόνον τοῦ λωτοῦ ἐσθίοντες ζῶσι» (Herodot. IV, 177). Δυμάν ὁ υἱὸς Αἰγιμίου, ὡς Ἔφορος αʹ «Αἰγίμιος γὰρ ἦν τῶν περὶ Οἴτην Δωριέων βασιλεύς. ἔσχε δὲ δύο παῖδας Πάμφυλον καὶ Δυμᾶνα καὶ τὸν τοῦ Ἡρακλέους Ὕλλον ἐποιήσατο τρίτον, χάριν ἀποδοὺς ἀνθ´ ὧν Ἡρακλῆς ἐκπεπτωκότα κατήγαγεν.» καὶ Δυμᾶνες φυλὴ Δωριέων.
