Crannon: a city of Thessaly in Pelasgiotis, in the Tempe, as Hecataeus says in his *Europa*. There is also another city of Athamania, named after Crannon son of the Pelasgian. In this place they say there are only two ravens, as Callimachus relates in the *Marvels* and Theopompus. And whenever they hatch other (young), leaving them an equal number, they depart. The citizen is *Crannōnios*. Herodotus: “And from Thessaly came Diactorides of the Scopadae, a Crannōnios.” And the city Crannon is 100 stades distant from Gyrton, as Strabo says. Homer too (Ν 301) calls the Crannonians *Ephyroi*, and the Gyrtonians *Phlegyai*. There is also a feminine form *Crannōnis*, formed from the genitive.
