Καβύλη, πόλις Θρᾴκης οὐ πόρρω τῆς τῶν Ἀστῶν χώρας. Πολύβιος τρισκαιδεκάτῃ. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Καβυληνός ὡς Ἀρτακηνός.

Kabyle: a city in Thrace, not far from the territory of the Astai. Polybios, book 13. The ethnonym is 'Kabylenos'.

Commentary (2)

Polybios, book 13.

Stephanos abbreviates Polybios’s citation; the entry is an epitome, so the original context is lost.

AI-detected · source or version · confidence: high

The ethnonym is 'Kabylenos'

The Greek form is Καβυληνός, preserving the place-name stem in the ethnonym.
