Πειραιός, οὕτως ἐκαλεῖτο ὁ λιμὴν τῆς Ἀττικῆς. Πειραιός δὲ καὶ τὸ ἐθνικόν. ὕστερον δὲ Πειραιεύς δῆμος τῆς Ἱπποθοωντίδος φυλῆς. ὁ δημότης Πειραιεύς. τὰ τοπικὰ ἐκ Πειραιῶς, εἰς τόπον εἰς Πειραιᾶ, ἐν τόπῳ ἐν Πειραιεῖ καὶ Πειραιοῖ. λέγεται καὶ κτητικῶς Πειραϊκός μετὰ συστολῆς τοῦ « α ». ἔστι καὶ τῆς Κορινθίας λιμήν. λέγεται δὲ καὶ “Πειρήτιδος ἱερὸς ὄρνις” ὡς ἀπὸ τοῦ Πειρήτης ἀρσενικοῦ. ἔστι δὲ δῆλον ὡς ἀπὸ τοῦ Πειραία Πειραιάτης καὶ Πειραιείτης καὶ καθ´ ὑφαίρεσιν τῆς « ει » διφθόγγου Πειραιάτης.

Peiraios: so the harbour of Attica was called. And Peiraios also the ethnic. Later Peiraieus, a deme of the Hippothontid tribe. The demesman Peiraieus. The locatives from Peiraieus, to the place to Peiraia, in the place in Peiraiei and Peiraioi. Also said possessively Peiraikos with shortening of the 'a'. There is also a harbour of the Corinthian land. Also said "sacred bird of Peiretis", as from the masculine 'Peiretes'. It is clear that from 'Peiraia' Peiraiates and Peiraieites and, by removal of the diphthong 'ei', Peiraiates.
