Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
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”. It was first inhabited by Thracians, those called Sinties, as Strabo says. These same people are also Saptaioi. The inhabitant is Lēmnios; and Lēmnikos is the possessive adjective.
