Σμύρνα, πόλις Ἰωνίας, ἣν πρῶτον ἔκτισε καὶ ᾤκησε Τάνταλος. καὶ τότε μὲν Ναύλοχον· ὕστερον δὲ Σμύρνα προσηγορεύθη, ἀπὸ Σμύρνης Ἀμαζόνος κατασχούσης τὴν Ἔφεσον. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Σμυρναῖος, καὶ τὸ κτητικὸν Σμυρναϊκὸς κόλπος.

Smyrna: Smyrna, a city of Ionia, which Tantalus first founded and inhabited. And then it was called Naulochon, but later Smyrna, from Smyrna the Amazon who occupied Ephesus. The ethnonym 'Smyrnaios', and the possessive Smyrnaic gulf.
