Κυλλήνη, ὄρος Ἀρκαδίας, σταδίων [Ὀλυμπιακῶν] ἐννέα παρὰ πόδας ὀγδοήκοντα [κατ´ Ἀπολλόδωρον]. ἀπὸ Κυλλήνης Ναΐδος νύμφης. “ἐν τούτῳ δέ φασι τῷ ὄρει τοὺς κοττύφους λευκοὺς γίνεσθαι, ἄλλοθι δὲ μηδαμῆ, καὶ φωνὰς ποικίλας προΐεσθαι, θηρεύεσθαι δὲ πρὸς τὴν σελήνην, τὴν δὲ ἡμέραν εἴ τις ἐπιχειροίη δυσθηράτους εἶναι σφόδρα”. ἔστι δὲ καὶ Ἠλείων ἐπίνειον Κυλλήνη· τὸ ἐθνικὸν Κυλληνεύς καὶ Κυλλήνιος· καὶ Κύλλιος λέγεται Ἑρμῆς κατὰ συγκοπὴν τοῦ Κυλλήνιος.

Kyllene: a mountain of Arkadia, 9 stades from the foot 80, named after Kyllene, a Naiad nymph. In this mountain, they say, the thrushes become white, but nowhere else at all, and they utter variegated voices; they are hunted by moonlight, but by day, if anyone were to attempt it, they are very difficult indeed to hunt. There is also Kyllene, a harbour of the Eleians. The ethnonym is 'Kylleneus' and 'Kylleniou'; Hermes is also called 'Kyllios', by syncope of 'Kyllenios'.
