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.
Kámiros: a city on Rhodes, named after the son of Kerkaphos, the Heliad, and of Kydippe. From Kerkaphos the Rhodian women are called Kerkaphídes. There were three (cities), as Homer says (Il. 2.656): “Lindos and Ialysos and silvery Kámiros.” The citizen is Kamireús. Peisandros, the most distinguished poet, was a Kamireús. One also says Kamirítes and Kamiraîos, and in the feminine likewise.
