Kabalís: a city near Kibyra, to the south of the Maeander. The genitive is Kabalídos. The citizen is Kabaleús. Hecataeus in his *Asia*. Also in the feminine, as Strabo says in the passage cited: “and the Kibyratae are descendants of Lydians, of those who occupied the Kabalís.” But Alexander Polyhistor says that the feminine form is Kabálissa. And its ethnic origin is said to be Olbía.
