Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Hyde: a city in Lydia, in which Omphale lived when she ruled over the Lydians, the daughter of Iardanos, as per Apollonios, in book 4 of his Karika. Homer has it with λ: 'by far the best of leather-cutters, dwelling in his house in Hyle'. The ethnonym is 'Hydaios'. Maiandrios, whom Nikanor cites in his Renamings, says that Hyde and Sardeis are the same.
