Κοτιάειον, πόλις τῆς ἐπικτήτου Φρυγίας. Στράβων ιβʹ. τινὲς δέ φασι Κοσιάειον ὀφείλει. δοκεῖ δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ Κόσα Κόσαιον, ὡς τοῦ Μίδα Μίδαιον, καὶ προσθέσει τοῦ « ι » Κοσιαῖον, καὶ τροπῇ Κοτιαῖον. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Κοτιαεύς. ἔνθα ἦν Ἀλέξανδρος ὁ Ἀσκληπιάδου γραμματικὸς πολυμαθέστατος χρηματίζων, ὃς περὶ παντοδαπῆς ὕλης κδʹ ἔγραψε βίβλους.

Kotiaeion: a city of Epiktetos Phrygia. Strabo book 12. Some, however, say that it ought to be “Kosiaion.” It seems, rather, to be derived from Kōsas as Kosaeion is from Kōsas—just as from Midas comes Midaeion—then by the addition of i, Kosiaeion, and by a phonetic change, Kotiaeion. The ethnic is Kotiaeus. There too lived Alexander son of Asklepiades, a grammarian of the greatest learning, who wrote twenty-four books on miscellaneous subject-matter.
