Herodian

…ἔστι δὲ ἄλλη Αἰολίδος. Κέρνη πόλις καὶ λιμήν. τὸ δὲ φερνή ἡ προίξ παρὰ τὸ φέρω ὀξύνεται. Αἰολεῖς δὲ φέρεναν αὐτὴν λέγουσιν ὁμοίως τῇ Ἔλεναν. * Ἔτι καὶ τὰ εἰς 'νη' μονογενῆ ὑπερδισύλλαβα ἔχοντα πρὸ τοῦ 'ν' 'ρ' βαρύνεται, Ἰέρνη νῆσος ἐν τῷ πέρατι πρὸς ταῖς δυσμαῖς, Ἰουέρνη πόλις ἐν τῷ πόντῳ τῷ Πρετανικῷ. Ἀχάρναι δῆμος τῆς Οἰνηΐδος φυλῆς.
