Λῆμνος, νῆσος πρὸς τῇ Θρᾴκῃ, δύο πόλεις ἔχουσα, Ἡφαιστίαν καὶ Μύριναν, ὡς Ἑκαταῖος Εὐρώπῃ. ἀπὸ τῆς μεγάλης λεγομένης θεοῦ, ἣν Λῆμνόν φασι· ταύτῃ δὲ καὶ παρθένους θύεσθαι. ᾠκίσθη δὲ πρῶτον ὑπὸ Θρᾳκῶν, οἳ Σίντιες ἐκαλοῦντο, ὡς Στράβων. οἱ δ´ αὐτοὶ οὗτοι καὶ Σαπαῖοι. ὁ οἰκήτωρ Λήμνιος καὶ Λημνικός κτητικόν.

Lēmnos: an island off Thrace, having two cities, Hephaistia and Myrinna, as Hekataios says in the *Eurēmbē*. So called from the so‑called Great Goddess, or, they say, from the Lemnians; and in this place a maiden also is “united” (i.e. in marriage/union). It was first inhabited by Thracians, those called Sinties (Hom. *Il.* Θ 294), as Strabo says. These same people are also (called) Saptaioi. The inhabitant is *Lēmnios*; and *Lēmnikos* is the possessive adjective.
