Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Lemnos: an island near Thrace, with two cities, Hephaistia and Myrina, as per Hekataios in his Europe. It is named after the goddess called Great, whom they say is Lemnos; virgins are also sacrificed to her. It was first settled by Thracians called Sinties, as per Strabo. These same people are also called Sapaioi. An inhabitant is a 'Lemnios'; 'Lemnikos' is the possessive adjective.
