Κάναστρον, ἄκρον Θρᾴκης καὶ Μακεδονίας. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Καναστραῖος. Σοφοκλῆς δὲ ὑπομνηματίζων τὰ ἀργοναυτικά “Καναστραῖον” φησίν “ἀκρωτήριον τῆς Παλλήνης”. ἀλλ´ ἐναντιοῦται τὰ ἐθνικά, εἰ μὴ καὶ τοῦτο ἐκλάβοιμεν παραπλησίως τῷ Λέχαιον καὶ Λεχαῖος, καὶ Λύκειον τὸ γυμνάσιον καὶ Λυκεῖος Ἀπόλλων, καὶ Νύμφαιον καὶ Νυμφαῖος.

Kanastron: a headland of Thrace and Macedonia. The ethnonym is 'Kanastraios'. Sophokles, in his commentary on the Argonautika, says 'Kanastraion', 'a promontory of Pallene'. But the ethnonyms are at odds, unless we should take this too in a similar way to 'Lechaion' and 'Lechaios', and 'Lykeion', the gymnasion, and 'Lykeios' Apollo, and 'Nymphaion' and 'Nymphaios'.
