Κορώνεια, πόλις Βοιωτίας. Ἑκαταῖος Εὐρώπῃ. ἀπὸ Κορώνου τοῦ Θερσάνδρου. ἐν ταύτῃ οὐ φαίνεται ἀσπάλαξ, πάσης τῆς Βοιωτίας ἐχούσης τὸ ζῷον, κἄν τις ἔξωθεν ἐνέγκῃ εἰς τὴν Κορωνέων χώραν, οὐ δύναται ζῆν. δευτέρα πόλις Πελοποννήσου [μεταξὺ] Σικυῶνος καὶ Κορίνθου. τρίτη τῆς Φθιώτιδος. ἔστι δὲ καὶ φρούριον τῆς Ἀμβρακίας. τετάρτη πόλις Κύπρου. ἔστι καὶ χερρόνησος πρὸς τὴν Ἀττικήν. πέμπτη πόλις Σαλαμινίων Κορώνη· ὁ πολίτης Κορώνιος καὶ Κορωνεύς. οἱ δέ φασι παρὰ τὴν Κορώνειαν Κορωνιεύς, παρὰ δὲ τὴν Κορώνην Κορωναεύς.
Korōneia: a city of Boiōtia. Hekataios in his *Europe*. Named from Korōnos son of Thersandros. In this place the *aspalax* (mole) is not found, although all Boiōtia has the animal; and even if someone brings one in from outside into the territory of the Korōneians, it is unable to live. (2) A city of the Peloponnese, between Sikyon and Korinth. (3) [A city] of Phthiōtis; and there is also a *phrourion* (fort) of Ambrakia. (4) A city of Kypros; there is also a peninsula off Attikē. (5) A city of the Salaminians, Korōnē. The citizen is Korōnaios and Korōneus. Some, however, say that from Korōneia [the ethnic] is Korōnieus, but from Korōnē it is Korōnaeus.
