Ἀγκύριον, πόλις Ἰταλίας. δύναται ὁ πολίτης Ἀγκύριος, ὡς Βυζάντιος, ἢ Ἀγκυριεύς, ὡς Κιτιεύς Δουλιχιεύς Σιγιεύς Σουνιεύς. ἀλλ´ ἄμεινον διὰ τὸ τῆς χώρας ἔθος Ἀγκυριανός, ὡς Ἀδριανός. εἰ μὴ ὡς παρὰ τὸ Ῥήγιον Ῥηγῖνος, Μεταπόντιον Μεταποντῖνος. Ἰταλοὶ γὰρ μάλιστα τούτῳ φιληδοῦσι τῷ τύπῳ.

Ankyrion: a city in Italy. A citizen may be an 'Ankyrios', as in 'Byzantios', or an 'Ankyrieus', as in 'Kitieus', 'Doulichieus', 'Sigieus', and 'Sounieus'. But, owing to the custom of the region, 'Ankyrianos', as in 'Adrianos', is better—unless it should be 'Ankyrinos', just as 'Rheginos' is from Rhegion and 'Metapontinos' from Metapontion. For Italians especially favour this form.
