Αἶα, πόλις Κόλχων, κτίσμα Αἰήτου, θαλάσσης ἀπέχουσα στάδια τριακόσια, ἣν περιρρέουσι δύο ποταμοί, Ἵππος καὶ Κυάνεος, ποιοῦντες αὐτὴν χερρόνησον. ἔοικε δὲ τοὐναντίον ἐξ αὐτῆς ὁ Αἰήτης εἶναι, ὡς Ἀσία Ἀσιάτης, οὕτως Αἶα Αἰάτης καὶ Αἰήτης. ἔστι δὲ καὶ Θετταλίας ἄλλη, ἧς μέμνηται Σοφοκλῆς, τῆς μὲν προτέρας λέγων “εἰς Αἶαν πλέων” τῆς δὲ δευτέρας οὕτως “ἔστιν τις Αἶα Θεσσαλῶν παγκληρία”. ἔστιν Αἶα καὶ Μακεδονίας πηγή, ὡς Ἀντίμαχος ἐν Θηβαίδι. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Αἰαῖος ὡς Γαζαῖος, τὸ θηλυκὸν Αἰαία.
