Δαίδαλα, πόλις τῆς Ῥοδίας ἢ χωρίον, Στράβων ιδʹ. ἔστι καὶ ὄρος τῆς Λυκίας τὰ Δαίδαλα. ἡ δὲ πόλις ἀπὸ Δαιδάλου τοῦ Ἰκάρου ἡ ἐν Λυκίᾳ. διά τινος γὰρ ἕλους ἐπορεύετο [διὰ] τοῦ Νίνου ποταμοῦ, καὶ ὑπὸ χερσύδρου δηχθέντα τελευτῆσαι καὶ ἐκεῖ ταφῆναι καὶ κτισθῆναι πόλιν φησὶν Ἀλέξανδρος ἐν Λυκιακοῖς. ἔστι καὶ Ἰνδικῆς. καὶ Κρήτης ἄλλη. ὁ πολίτης Δαιδαλεύς ὡς Σαμόσατα Σαμοσατεύς, καὶ Δαιδαλίς τὸ θηλυκόν.
Daídala: a city of Rhodia, or a district; Strabo, book 14 (14.2.2; 14.3.1). There is also in Lycia a mountain called Daídala. But the city in Lycia is named after Daedalus son of Icarus. For, as Alexander says in his *Lyciaca* (FGrHist 273 F 61), he was travelling through a certain marsh by way of the river Ninus, and, having been bitten by a watersnake, died, and was buried there, and a city was founded (on the spot). There is also (a place called Daídala) in India, and another in Crete. The ethnic is Daidaleus, as from Samosata Samōsateus; and the feminine (form) is Daidalis.
