Κόριον, τόπος ἐν Κρήτῃ ἀπὸ κόρης τινός. ὁ πολίτης Κορήσιος. καὶ λίμνη Κορησία. καὶ Ἀθηνᾶς ἱερὸν Κορησίας. ταῦτα δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ κόρη γέγονεν. ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ Κόριον τὸ ἀνάλογον Κοριεύς.

Kórion: a place in Crete, named from some maiden (kórē). The citizen is Kórēsios. Also (there is) a lake Kōrēsía, and a sanctuary of Athena (called) Kōrēsía. These, then, have arisen from the word kórē (‘maiden’). But from Kórion the corresponding ethnic is Korieús.
