city
Ἡρώ, πόλις Αἰγυπτία, ἣ Αἷμος ἐκλήθη διὰ τὸ τὸν Τυφῶνα ἐνταῦθα κεραυνῷ βληθῆναι καὶ αἷμα ῥυῆναι. Στράβων δὲ Ἡρώων πόλιν αὐτὴν καλεῖ. ὁ πολίτης ταύτης Ἡρωοπολίτης, τῆς δὲ πρώτης Ἡρῷος ὡς Κῷος.

Hero: a city in Egypt, which was called Haimos because Typhon was struck there by a thunderbolt and blood flowed. Strabo calls it ‘a city of the Heroes’. A citizen of this city is a ‘Heroopolites’, but of the first a ‘Heroios’, as in ‘Koios’.

… ἐκαλεῖτο δὲ καὶ Βοῦτος. Δωδώ· οὕτως ἐλέγετο Δωδώνη Σιμμίας ὁ Ῥόδιος »Ζηνὸς ἕδος Κρονίδαο μάκαιρ´ ὑπεδέξατο Δωδώ«. Ἐλβώ νῆσος. Ἡρόδοτος δευτέρᾳ (c. 140). Ἀμαζώ θυγάτηρ τῆς Ἐφέσου, ἀφ´ ἧς αἱ Ἀμαζόνες. Ἡρώ πόλις Αἰγυπτία. Στράβων δὲ Ἡρώων πόλιν αὐτὴν καλεῖ. Θριώ· οὕτως λέγεται Θρῖα δῆμος τῆς Οἰνηΐδος φυλῆς, ὅθεν Θριῶθεν Θριῶζε. Ἰώ ἤτοι σελήνη·
