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 in Phrygia Epiktetos. Strabo, book 12. Some say that it ought to be 'Kosiaeion'; it seems to be from 'Kosas, Kosaeion' (as in 'Midas, Midaeion'), then 'Kosiaeion' by addition of 'i' and finally 'Kotiaeion' by shifting. The ethnonym is 'Kotiaeus'. There was a grammarian there: Alexander son of Asklepiades, styled 'the most learned', who wrote twenty-four books on miscellaneous matters.
