Καβαλίς, πόλις πλησίον Κιβύρας πρὸς νότον Μαιάνδρου. [Στράβων τρισκαιδεκάτῃ.] ἡ γενικὴ Καβαλίδος. ὁ πολίτης Καβαλεύς. Ἑκαταῖος Ἀσίᾳ. καὶ θηλυκῶς, ὡς Στράβων ἐν τῇ εἰρημένῃ “ἀπόγονοι δὲ Λυδῶν οἱ Κιβυρᾶται τῶν κατασχόντων τὴν Καβαλίδα”. ὁ δὲ πολυίστωρ Ἀλέξανδρος Καβάλισσαν φησὶ τὸ θηλυκόν. εἶναι δὲ τὸ γένος αὐτὴν Ὀλβίαν.

Kabalis: a city near Kibyra, to the south of the Maiandros. The genitive is 'Kabalidos'. A citizen is a 'Kabaleus'. Hekataios in his Asia. Also in the feminine, as per Strabo in the aforementioned: 'The Kibyratai are descendants of the Lydians who gained possession of Kabalis.' However, Alexander Polyhistor says that the feminine is 'Kabalissa', and that they are Olbian by descent.

a city near Kibyra, to the south of the Maiandros
