Edit

Κάληρος, οὕτως ἐκαλεῖτο ἡ Ἀλωπεκόννησος ἀπὸ Καλήρου βασιλέως, Ἀλωπεκόννησος δὲ ὅτι ἐκεῖ εἶδον σκύμνους φέρουσαν καὶ κατατιθεῖσαν ἀλώπεκα. τινὲς δ´ ὅτι δεκάληρος ἐκαλεῖτο ἡ πόλις.

Kaleros: Alopekonesos (α 242) used to be called this, after King Kaleros. It is Alopekonesos (now) because they saw a fox (alopex) carry her cubs there and put them down. Some say that the city was called Kalaros.
