Καλλίαρος, πόλις Λοκρῶν, ἀπὸ Καλλιάρου τοῦ Ὁδοιδόκου καὶ Λαονόμης, ὡς Ἑλλάνικος ἐν πρώτῃ Δευκαλιωνείας, Στράβων δ´ ἐν ἐνάτῃ παρὰ τὸ εὐήροτον αὐτὴν εἶναί φησι. Καλλίαρα, οὐδετέρως. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Καλλιαρεῖς ὡς Μεγαρεῖς.

Kalliāros: a city of the Lokrians, named after Kalliāros son of Hodoidokos and Laonomē, as Hellanikos says in book 1 of the Deukaliōneia. But Strabo, in book 9, says that it is so called from being “well-watered” (euērotos). Kalliāra is neuter in gender. The ethnic is Kalliareis, like Megareis.
