Εὔδοξος τετάρτῳ γῆς περιόδου. ἔστι δὲ [ὡς] Μεγάλη κώμη. ἐκ τῶν δύο δὲ ἡ παραγωγή, Μεγαλοκωμήτης Καλακτίτης ἢ Καλοακτίτης διὰ τοῦ « ι ». ἐπεὶ καὶ παρὰ τὸ Ἀκτή Ἀκτίτης [καὶ Ἀττικός· Ἀκτή γὰρ ἡ Ἀττική]. ἢ Καλοακταῖος καὶ Καλοακταία θηλυκόν, ἢ Καλοάκτιος ὡς Πανάκτιος καὶ ἐπάκτιος.

Kale Akte: a city of the Sikels. Eudoxos, in the fourth book of his Circuit of the Earth. It is like 'Megale Kome'. From each comes a derivation: 'Megalokometes', and 'Kalaktites' and 'Kaloaktites' with ι, since 'Aktites' corresponds to 'Akte'. Otherwise there is 'Kaloaktaios' and the feminine 'Kaloaktaia', or 'Kaloaktios'.
