Καβειρία, πόλις τῆς κάτω Ἀσίας, ἧς τὴν γῆν Καβείριοι ᾤκουν. εἰσὶ καὶ Καβείριοι ἔθνος Βοιωτίας, ὡς Παυσανίας ἐνάτῳ. καὶ Κάβειρος Καβειρία, ἀφ´ οὗ τὸ Καβειραῖος καὶ Καβειραία καὶ Καβειρίτης. καὶ Καβείριον· τούτου τὸ ἐθνικὸν Καβείριος, ὡς τὸ Βυζάντιον Βυζάντιος, καὶ Καβειρία τὸ θηλυκόν. καὶ Καβειριεύς. καὶ νύμφαι Καβειρίδες, ἀπὸ Καβειροῦς τῆς Πρωτέως καὶ Ἀγχινόης, ἀφ´ ἧς καὶ Ἡφαίστου Κάδμιλος. ἔστι δὲ ἡ μὲν Καβειρίς παρὰ τὸ Κάβειρος, ἡ δὲ Καβειριάς παρὰ τὸ Καβείριος. τὸ κτητικὸν Καβειρικός καὶ Καβειρική, καὶ καβειριάζεσθαι ῥῆμα.
Kab(e)iria: a city of Lower Asia, whose territory the Kabeirioi inhabited. There are also Kabeirioi, an ethnos of Boeotia, as Pausanias says in book 9. Also: Kabeiros or Kabeiria, from which are derived the forms Kabeiraios and Kabeiraia and Kabeiritēs; also Kabeirion. The ethnic adjective from this is Kabeirios, as from Byzantion comes Byzantios, and Kabeiria is the feminine. Also Kabeirieus. Also the nymphs Kabeirides, from Kabeiros, son of Proteus and Anchinoe, from whom too comes Kadmilos of Hephaistos. Now Kabeiris (with -is) is formed from Kabeiros, whereas Kabeirias (with -ias) is formed from Kabeirios. The possessive adjective is Kabeirikos and Kabeirikē; and there is also the verb kabeiriazesthai (‘to perform Kabeiric rites’).
