Ἀκέστη, πόλις Σικελίας, καὶ Ἄγεστα, παρὰ τὸν Ἀκέστην. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Ἀκεσταῖος, τὸ θηλυκὸν Ἀκεσταία.
Herodian
…υ. Σάρτη πόλις περὶ τὸν Ἄθων, Πέμπτη πόλις Αἰγύπτου. Τὰ εἰς 'τη' ὑπερδισύλλαβα ἔχοντα κατὰ σύλληψιν σύμφωνον ἢ πρὸ τέλους τὸ 'ρ' κύρια ὄντα βαρύνεται, Ἀδρήστη, Ἰοκάστη. Ὀρέστη πόλις Εὐβοίας. Ἑκαταῖος Εὐρώπης περιηγήσει. Ἀκέστη πόλις Σικελίας καὶ Ἄγεστα, παρὰ τὸν Ἀκέστην. Μεγίστη πόλις καὶ νῆσος τῆς Λυκίας, ὡς πολυίστωρ, ἀπὸ Μεγιστέως τινός. Δολιχίστη· οὕτως Ἀλέξανδρος
