Κρεμμυών, κώμη Κορίνθου. Εὔδοξος ἕκτῳ γῆς περιόδου. ὁ πολίτης Κρεμμυώνιος. “ἐν ᾗ μυθεύουσι τὰ περὶ τὴν Κρεμμυωνίαν ὗν, ἣν μητέρα τοῦ Καλυδωνίου κάπρου φασὶ καὶ τῶν Θησέως ἄθλων [ἕνα]”. Φαβωρῖνος δὲ ὅτι τοῦ Ἐρυμανθίου καὶ τοῦ Καλυδωνίου μήτηρ ἦν. τὸ δὲ κύριον ὄνομα αὐτῆς ἐκαλεῖτο Φαῖα. ἔστι καὶ Κρομμυών πόλις Λιβύης διὰ τοῦ « ο ». καὶ Ἑκαταῖος. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Κρομμυώνιος καὶ Κρομμυωνία.
Kremmyōn: a village of Corinth. Eudoxus, in the sixth book of his Circuit of the Earth. The citizen is called Kremmyōnios. “In it they tell the story of the Kremmyōnian sow, which they say was the mother of the Calydonian boar and [one] of the labours of Theseus.” But Favorinus says that she was the mother of the Erymanthian and the Calydonian (boar). Her proper name was called Phaia. There is also Krommyōn, a city of Libya, with omicron (‘o’); and (so says) Hecataeus. The ethnic is Krommyōnios, and (the feminine/territorial form) Krommyōnia.
