Etymologies: Unclear Metalinguistic: and the island is called Dora; Morphological Composition: the island-dweller is ‘Dōritēs’, just as for Stagira one has ‘Stagirites’, for Abdera ‘Abderites’; Morphological Composition: if it must be characterized by the adjectival type of the region, (it would be) ‘Dōrēnós’, as (are) ‘Sōphēnós’, ‘Araxēnós’, ‘Nisibēnós’; Unclear Metalinguistic: thus also ‘Hōros’ (example mentioned without further explanation)

Δῶρα, νῆσος ἐν τῷ Περσικῷ κόλπῳ, καθὰ Στράβων ιϛʹ “τὸν δὲ Μαζήνην ἐπάρχειν νήσου τινὸς τῶν ἐν τῷ Περσικῷ κόλπῳ, καλεῖσθαι δὲ τὴν νῆσον Δῶρα”. ὁ νησιώτης Δωρίτης, ὡς τοῦ Στάγειρα Σταγειρίτης Ἄβδηρα Ἀβδηρίτης. οὕτω καὶ Ὦρος. εἰ δὲ τῷ τῆς χώρας τύπῳ χαρακτηρισθῆναι δεῖ, Δωρηνός ὡς Σωφηνός Ἀραξηνός Νισιβηνός.

Dōra: an island in the Persian Gulf, as Strabo says in book 16 (16.3.7 [C 767,4]): “and that Mazēnē is ruled by a certain one of the islands in the Persian Gulf, and that the island is called Dōra.” The islander is Dōritēs, as (one says) Stageira—Stageiritēs, Abdera—Abdēritēs. So too Hōros (Reitzenstein, Gesch. p. 317). But if one must form an ethnicon according to the type of the χώρα, Dōrēnos, like Sōphēnos, Araxēnos, Nisibēnos.

…δωρος Δῶρα τὴν πόλιν οἶδεν ἐν ἐπιτομῇ τῶν ιαʹ «συνεχῶς δ´ ἐστὶ Στράτωνος πύργος, εἶτα ἔνι Δῶρα ἐπὶ χερσονησοειδοῦς τόπου κείμενον πολισμάτιον, ἀρχομένου τοῦ ὄρους τοῦ Καρμήλου» καὶ ἐν θʹ γεωγραφουμένων τὸ αὐτό. ἔστι καὶ Δῶρα νῆσος ἐν τῷ Περσικῷ κόλπῳ, καθὰ Στράβων ιϛʹ «τὸν δὲ Μαζήνην ἐπάρχειν νήσου τινὸς τῶν ἐν τῷ Περσικῷ κόλπῳ, καλεῖσθαι δὲ τὴν νῆσον Δῶρα».
