Ἀγκών, πόλις Πικεντίνων, ὡς Ἀντρών. ἴσως δὲ βαρύνεται κατὰ τοὺς ἐγχωρίους. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Ἀγκώνιος, ὡς Ἀντρώνιος ὄνος ἡ παροιμία, Καλυδώνιος. λέγεται δὲ καὶ Ἀγκωνίτης, ὡς Ἀρτεμίδωρος.

Ankon, a city of the Pikentinoi, with Ἀγκών accented as Ἀντρών. Perhaps, however, it is barytone among the locals. The ethnonym is 'Ankonios', as in the proverb 'Antronios ass', and 'Kalydonios'. It is also called 'Ankonites', as per Artemidoros.
