Λίβυς, κύριον, κλίνεται Λίβυος, ἀφ´ οὗ Λιβύη. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Λίβυς Λίβυσσα Λίβυ, Λιβυκός Λιβυκή, καὶ Λιβύστιον, ὡς ἀπὸ τοῦ Λίβυστος τοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ Λίβυος ὄντος κατὰ πλεονασμόν. καὶ Λιβυστῖνον καὶ Λιβυστῖνος καὶ Λιβυστίνη, καὶ Λιβυστιάς καὶ Λιβυστίς, καὶ Λιβυσσαία ἀπὸ τοῦ Λίβυσσα. καὶ κτητικὸν “Λιβυστικὰς πλάκας” Λυκόφρων, ὅ τινες διὰ τοῦ « γ » γράφουσι κακῶς.

[A] proper name: it is declined Λίβυς, masculine: nominative ὁ Λίβυς, genitive ὁ Λίβυ(ος). The ethnic adjectives are: Λίβυς, Λίβυσσα, Λίβυ; also Λιβυκός, Λιβυκή; and also Λιβύστιον—derived, with pleonasm, from Λίβυτος, i.e. ‘the man from Λίβυς’—and (further) Λιβυστῖνος, and Λιβυστῖνος, and Λιβυτόντιον; and Λιβυστίδας and Λιβυστίς; and Λιβυσκοτάς from Λίβυθος. And (there are) possessive forms too: “Libystic tablets” (Λιβυστικάι πλάκες), Lycophron 648—though some write it with gamma (γ), wrongly.
