Kabeiria: a city in southern Asia, whose land the Kabeiroi used to inhabit. There are also Kabeiroi, a people in Boiotia, as per Pausanias book 9. Kabeiria is also 'Kabeiros', from which come the forms 'Kabeiraios', 'Kabeiraia' and 'Kabeirites'. As for the Kabeirion, the ethnonym of this is 'Kabeirios', and the feminine is 'Kabeiria'. 'Kabeirieus' as well. As for the nymphs, 'Kabeirides' is from Kabeiro daughter of Proteus and Anchinoe, from whom was Kadmilos son of Hephaistos. There are also both 'Kabeiris' derived from the form 'Kabeiros', and 'Kabeirias' derived from the form 'Kabeirios'. The possessives are 'Kabeirikos' and 'Kabeirike', and 'kabeiriazesthai' is a verb.

Kabeiria: a city in southern Asia

Stephanos locates Kabeiria in “Asia” (here rendered “southern Asia”), a vague geographical label in ancient usage, not the modern continent.
