Καλάθη, πόλις οὐ πόρρω τῶν Ἡρακλείων στηλῶν. Ἑκαταῖος Εὐρώπῃ. Ἔφορος δὲ Καλάθουσαν αὐτήν φησιν. ἔστι καὶ τοῦ Πόντου Καλάθουσα· ὁ πολίτης τῆς Καλάθης Καλαθῖνος ὡς Ἀγαθῖνος, τῆς δὲ Καλαθούσης Καλαθούσιος ὡς Νύσιος.

Kalathe: a city not far from the Pillars of Herakles. Hekataios in his Europe. Ephoros says that it is 'Kalathousa'. There is also a Kalathousa on the Black Sea. A citizen of Kalathe is a 'Kalathinos' and one of Kalathousa is a 'Kalathousios'.

Commentary (2)
a city not far from the Pillars of Herakles
The identification is uncertain: Stephanos gives only a relative location, and the same name is linked here with another place, Kalathousa on the Black Sea.
AI-detected · geography non obvious · confidence: high
There is also a Kalathousa on the Black Sea
Stephanos distinguishes this Kalathousa from the first and leaves unclear whether Kalathe is an alternate name or a separate place.
