Κάρπαθος, νῆσος πλησίον τῆς Κῶ. Ὅμηρος [“Κράπαθόν τε Κάσον τε καὶ Κῶν”. Διονύσιος δὲ Κρήτης,] “Κάρπαθος αὖτ´ ἐπὶ τῇσι ποτὶ ζόφον, [ἐγγύθι δ´ αὐτῆς Κρήτη τιμήεσσα”.] ὁ οἰκήτωρ Καρπάθιος καὶ Καρπαθία, καὶ Καρπάθιον.

Entry	#96

Translation status	Meineke inserts a Homeric fragment naming Κράπαθον, Κάσον, and Κῶν and explicitly identifies Διονύσιος as 'Κρήτης'; Billerbeck omits the Homeric line and uses different bracketing, line-break notation, and punctuation. Several orthographic/bracketing differences are mechanical, but the addition/omission and the added epithet are substantive.

Herodian

…ι τὸ Πάρθος, πόλις Ἰλλυρίας, λέγεται καὶ ἀρσενικῶς, ὡς Πολύβιος, καὶ τὸ ὄνθος. Τὰ εἰς 'αθος' μονογενῆ τρισύλλαβα ἀπὸ βραχείας ἀρχόμενα προπαροξύνεται, ἄμαθος, ψάμαθος, κύαθος, κάλαθος, λάπαθος, Σκίαθος νῆσος Εὐβοίας, Κράπαθος νῆσος πλησίον τῆς Κῶ. Ὅμηρος (Β 676) «Κράπαθόν τε Κάσον τε καὶ Κῶν», Μάραθος πόλις Ἀραδίας, ψίαθος. τὸ μέντοι ἀγαθός τριγενές. τὸ δὲ ὁρμαθός καὶ γυργαθός ὀξύνεται ἀπὸ μακρᾶς ἀρχόμενα.
