Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Tyrrenia: Tyrrhenia, a region on the Adriatic, from Tyrrhenos. There is also Tyrrhenia, a city, which is also called 'Tyrrhene', and the citizens Tyrrhenoi. And the Tyrsenian sea and 'Tyrsenis'. And the possessive 'Tyrsenikos' and 'Tyrsenike' and 'Tyrsenikon'. The Adriatai are also called Tyrrhenoi, from Tyrrhenos... in the Doric dialect, from which by aphaeresis and the addition of a letter 'tyrannos' was formed.
