Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Ampelos: a city of Liguria, Hekataios in the Europe. There is also a headland of the Toronaians called Ampelos. There is also another headland of Samos. And another in Kyrene. Agroitas says there are two cities, the one upper and the other lower. There is also a headland and harbour and city of Italy. The citizen Ampelinos as 'Assorinos' 'Abakaininos'; for that is the type of the Italians. For the rest it is possible to be Ampelitai.
