Πελοπόννησος, τρεῖς ἔσχεν ἐπωνυμίας, [ὡς Νικόλαος ὁ Δαμασκηνὸς γράφει ἐν τετάρτῃ ἱστορίᾳ “μέγιστον οὖν τότε ἴσχυον οἱ Πελοπίδαι, καὶ ἡ Πελοπόννησος εἰς αὐτοὺς ἀφεώρα, καὶ αὐτὸ τοὔνομα ἔχουσα ἀπ´ ἐκείνων, τρεῖς ἤδη πρότερον ἀλλάξασα τὰς ἐπωνυμίας.] ἐπὶ μὲν γὰρ Ἄπεως τοῦ Φορωνέως ἐκαλεῖτο Ἀπία, ἐπὶ δὲ Πελασγοῦ [τοῦ αὐτόχθονος] Πελασγία, ἐπὶ δὲ Ἄργου [καὶ αὐτὴ] ὁμωνύμως Ἄργος ἐκαλεῖτο· ἐπὶ δὲ Πέλοπος [τοῦ τὸν Οἰνόμαον νικήσαντος] Πελοπόννησος [ἔσχε τοῦτο τὸ κύριον ὄνομα”. ἔστι δὲ χερρόνησος ἀμπέλου φύλλῳ τῷ σχήματι παρεμφερής. Διονύσιος δὲ πλατάνου φύλλῳ ἀπεικάζει λέγων οὕτως “εἰδομένη πλατάνοιο μυουρίζοντι πετήλῳ”.] ὁ οἰκήτωρ Πελοποννήσιος. Πελοποννησιακὸν δὲ πόλεμον φυλάττονται λέγειν. λέγεται καὶ Πελόπειος διὰ διφθόγγου ἀπὸ Πέλοπος, τὸ θηλυκὸν Πελοπία. λέγεται καὶ Πελοπηίς.

Peloponnesos: it had three names, For under Apis the son of Phoroneus it was called Apia, under Pelasgos Pelasgia, under Argos homonymously was called Argos; under Pelops Peloponnesos [had this proper name". It is a peninsula resembling a vine-leaf in shape. Dionysios likens it to a plane-leaf, saying thus: "like the tapering leaf of a plane".] The inhabitant Peloponnesios. But they avoid saying 'Peloponnesiac war'. Also said Pelopeios with the diphthong from Pelops, the feminine Pelopia. Also said Pelopeis.
