Κασσώπη, πόλις ἐν Μολοσσοῖς, ἐπώνυμος τῇ Κασσωπίᾳ χώρᾳ. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Κασσωπαῖος καὶ Κασσώπιος καὶ Κασσωπία. ἀπὸ τοῦ Κασσώπιος Κασσωπιάς ὡς Ἑλικωνιάς. Ἡρόδωρος δὲ Κασσωποὺς αὐτούς φησιν, ἴσως κακῶς. πάντες δὲ διὰ δύο « σσ », Ἡρωδιανὸς δὲ μόνος δι´ ἑνὸς « σ ».

Kassope: a city among the Molossoi, which gives its name to the Kassopia region. The ethnonym is 'Kassopaios', also 'Kassopios' and 'Kassopia'. 'Kassopias' is from 'Kassopios', as in 'Helikonias'. Herodoros calls them 'Kassopous', perhaps wrongly. All write it with two σ’s, but Herodian alone with one σ.
