Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Akamantion: a city of Greater Phrygia, a foundation of Akamas son of Theseus, to whom, having fought as an ally against the Solymoi, he gave the place. The ethnonym Akamantios as 'Byzantios', but the possessive of Akamas with the diphthong 'ei'. Also said Akamantis as 'Byzantis'. Parthenios in the Aphrodite calls it Akamantis. A tribe of Attica was also called Akamantis, as Simonides.

Παρθένιος δ´ ἐν Ἀφροδίτῃ Ἀκαμαντίδα αὐτήν φησιν· ἐκαλεῖτο καὶ φυλὴ Ἀκαμαντίς τῆς Ἀττικῆς, ὡς Σιμωνίδης. Ἀθαμαντίς· οὕτως Τέω πόλιν Ἰωνίας καλεῖ
