Ἀλήσιον, τῆς Ἤλιδος “πέτρης τ´ Ὠλενίης καὶ Ἀλησίου”. ἀπὸ Ἀλησίου τοῦ Σκιλλοῦντος υἱοῦ. οὗτος δ´ ἦν τῶν Ἱπποδαμείας μνηστήρων. οἱ δὲ Γαργηττοῦ υἱόν, ἕνα τῶν μετὰ Πέλοπος ἀφικομένων. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Ἀλησιεύς ὡς Βουπρασιεύς. ἔστι καὶ Ἀλήσιον πεδίον τῆς Ἠπείρου, ὡς πηγνυμένου ἐκεῖ πολλοῦ ἁλός. ὁ δὲ Εὐφορίων “οὐ γὰρ Ἀλήσιοί ἐστε” φησίν.

Alesion: of Elis: "and the Olenian rock and Alesion". From Alesios son of Skillous. He was one of the suitors of Hippodameia. Others son of Gargettos, one of those who came with Pelops. The ethnonym Alesieus as 'Bouprasieus'. There is also the Alesian plain of Epeiros, since much salt congeals there. Euphorion says: "for you are not Alesioi".
