Herodian
…φαξυς εἶδος λαχάνου, ἄμαξυς, κόρυς, κῶμυς, ἔγχελυς· οἱ δὲ Ἐγχελεῖς ἔθνος Ἰλλυρικὸν ἢ ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἐγχελής ἢ ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἐγχελεύς. λέγεται καὶ Ἐγχελέαι ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἐγχελέης ἢ Ἐγχελέας. Μῶλυς Λίβυσσα πόλις. Ἑκαταῖος περιηγήσει Λιβύης. Κῶβρυς πόλις Θρᾴκης. Θεόπομπος Φιλιππικῶν ἐνάτῳ. Αἶγυς πόλις Λιγυστική, ὡς Εὐφορίων.
