Lampē: a city of Crete, a foundation of Agamemnon, (so called) from Lampos son of Tarrasios; the ethnic is Lampaios. Claudius Isalos, however, says that they are called Lamptai. There is also a second (city) in Akarnania, and a third in the Argolid, as Philōn says. Xenōn, in his Cretica, writes the Cretan city first with two lambdas, but with sigma written twice (i.e. -ss-) and with ē, (i.e. spelling it) through eta.
