Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Tegyra: Tegyra, a city of Boeotia, in which they say Apollo was born. Semos the Delian: "some say the birth of Apollo took place in Lycia, others in Delos, others in Zoster of Attica, others in Tegyra of Boeotia". Whence also Tegyreios Apollo. Callisthenes in the third book of the Hellenika says there are oracles: "the Ismenion in Thebes, the Trophonion in Lebadeia, the one called at Abai among the Phocians, and the more authoritative one in Delphi, which they say most of all has attested the one at Tegyra". The ethnonym 'Tegyreus'. And Tegyreios, and in Ionic Tegyreios.
