Αἰθάλη, νῆσος Τυρσηνῶν, Ἑκαταῖος Εὐρώπῃ. ἔοικε δὲ κεκλῆσθαι διὰ τὸ σίδηρον ἔχειν τὸν ἐν αἰθάλῃ τὴν ἐργασίαν ἔχοντα. Φίλιστος δὲ ἐν εʹ Σικελικῶν Αἰθάλειαν αὐτὴν καλεῖ, καὶ Ἡρωδιανὸς καὶ Ὦρος. Πολύβιος δ´ ἐν τριακοστῇ τετάρτῃ λέγει Αἰθάλειαν τὴν Λῆμνον καλεῖσθαι, ἀφ´ ἧς ἦν ὁ Γλαῦκος, εἷς τῶν τὴν κόλλησιν σιδήρου εὑρόντων· δύο γὰρ ἦσαν. οὗτος μὲν Σάμιος, ὅστις καὶ ἔργον ἀοιδιμώτατον ἀνέθηκεν ἐν Δελφοῖς, ὡς Ἡρόδοτος, ὁ δ´ ἕτερος Λήμνιος, ἀνδριαντοποιὸς διάσημος. ἐκαλεῖτο δὲ οὕτως ἡ πόλις ἴσως ἐκ τῶν ἀναδιδομένων τοῦ Ἡφαίστου κρατήρων. ἐκεῖ γὰρ ἀνωμολόγηται ταῦτα. τὸ ἐθνικὸν ἐκ τοῦ Αἰθάλεια Αἰθαλείτης, ὡς Ζελείτης, ἐκ δὲ τοῦ Αἰθάλη Αἰθαλίτης, ὡς Σινωπίτης Ἰοππίτης. δύναται τὸ Αἰθαλίτης ἀντὶ τοῦ Χῖος· οὕτω γὰρ ἡ Χίος ἐλέγετο. καὶ οἱ πολῖται Αἰθαλεῖς.
