Athos: a mountain of Thrace, from Athos a giant, as Nikandros in the fifth of the Europeia: "and one, seeing so great a height of Thracian Athos beneath the stars, heard not... beneath the measureless lake, who with two hands hurled uprooted bolts of the lofty before the Kanastraian headland." The shadow of the mountain falls for three hundred stades. It is also called 'Athoos', as 'Kos' 'Koos'. Also said by contraction Athous. The declension twofold, both 'Athoos' and Atho. The locative Athoos without the 'i', and 'Athoous' the inhabitants, but the one meaning 'unpunished' is properispomenon and with the 'i', from 'thoie'. From both, the feminine Athois. There is also a city Athos on Athos. And the citizen Athoites.
