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.

Daidala: a city of Rhodes, or a settlement; Strabo, book 14. There is also a mountain of Lykia, Daidala. The city in Lykia is named after Daidalos son of Ikaros: for, as he travelled through some marsh by way of the Ninos River, Alexander in his Lykiaka says that, having been bitten by a water-snake, he died, was buried there, and a city was founded. There is also one in India, and another of Crete. A citizen is a 'Daidaleus', and in the feminine 'Daidalis'.
