Ἀμφιγένεια, πόλις Μεσσηνιακή. Στράβων ὀγδόῃ. ἔστι δὲ κατὰ μὲν Ἀπολλόδωρον τῆς Μακιστίας, κατὰ δὲ Ἀντίμαχον τῆς Μεσσηνίας. ἔχει δὲ ἡ πόλις Λητοῦς ἱερόν· φασὶ γὰρ ὅτι ἐκεῖ παραγενομένην Λητὼ τεκεῖν τὸν Ἀπόλλωνα. Μενέλαος δέ φησι καὶ Ἀμφιγένειον εἰρῆσθαι. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Ἀμφιγενειάτης διὰ τὸν Πελοποννήσιον χαρακτῆρα, ἢ καὶ Ἀμφιγενεύς.

Amphigeneia: a Messenian city. Strabo in the eighth. It belongs, according to Apollodoros, to Makistia, according to Antimachos to Messenia. The city has a sanctuary of Leto; for they say that Leto, coming there, bore Apollo. Menelaos says it is also called Amphigeneion. The ethnonym Amphigeneiates by the Peloponnesian form, or also Amphigeneus.
