Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Hyle: a city in Cyprus, in which Apollo is honoured as Hylates. Lykophron: ‘and having made their way to Setrachon and the land of Hylates.’ There is also a city of the Ozolian Lokrians, whose ethnonym is ‘Hylaios’. It is clear that there was also a Hyle in Boiotia. Homer: ‘who held Eleon, Hyle, and Peteon.’ It is said to have been named after Hyle, daughter of Thespieus, or because it is wooded. There is also Hyle, a locality between the city of the Sabines and that of the Romans.
