Κάρνη, πόλις Φοινίκης, ἀπὸ Κάρνου τοῦ Φοίνικος, ὡς Ἴστρος φησίν. ὁ πολίτης Καρνίτης. Λυκόφρων “ὄλοιντο ναῦται πρῶτα Καρνῖται κύνες”. ἔστι δὲ ἄλλη Αἰολίδος, ἧς τὸ ἐθνικὸν Καρναῖος, τὸ κτητικὸν Κάρνιος τριγενές. Ἀρτεμίδωρος δ´ ἐν τῷ δεκάτῳ βιβλίῳ φησίν “ἔστι Κάρνος καὶ συνεχῶς Πάλτος, εἶτα Γάβαλα πόλις”. καὶ ἀναλογεῖ τὸ Καρνίτης.

Karne: a city of Phoenicia, named after Kar nos the Phoenician, as Istros says. The citizen is Karneitēs. Lycophron (1291): “may the sailors perish first, the Karneitai dogs.” There is also another [Karne] in Aiolis, whose ethnic is Karnaîos; the possessive adjective is Kárnios, of three terminations. Artemidoros too, in Book 11, says: “There is also Karnos and, continuously, Paltos, then Gabala, a city.” And Karneitēs is formed by analogy.
