Κάμιρος, πόλις ἐν Ῥόδῳ, ἀπὸ τοῦ παιδὸς Κερκάφου τοῦ Ἡλιάδου καὶ Κυδίππης. ἀπὸ Κερκάφου δὲ αἱ Ῥόδιαι γυναῖκες Κερκαφίδες. ἦσαν δὲ τρεῖς, ὡς Ὅμηρός φησι “Λίνδον Ἰηλυσόν τε καὶ ἀργινόεντα Κάμιρον”. ὁ πολίτης Καμιρεύς. Πείσανδρος ὁ διασημότατος ποιητὴς Καμιρεὺς ἦν. λέγεται καὶ Καμιρίτης καὶ Καμιραῖος, καὶ θηλυκῶς.

Kamiros: a city on Rhodes, after the son of Kerkaphos the Heliad and Kydippe. Rhodian women are 'Kerkaphides' after Kerkaphos. There were three, as Homer says:

'Lindos and Ielysos and gleaming white Kamiros.'

A citizen is a 'Kamireus'. Peisandros, the renowned poet, was 'Kamireus'. 'Kamirites' and 'Kamiraios' are also said, in the feminine too.
