Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Apollonia: first, a city of Illyria, which Illyrians inhabited, by Epidamnos. Later a colony of two hundred Corinthians was sent to it, led by Gylax, who named it Gylakeia. The ethnonym Apolloniates and feminine Apolloniatis. Second on an island toward Salmydessos, a colony of Milesians and Rhodians. Third of Macedonia. Fourth, a city of Libya. Fifth, on an island of Akarnania, one of the Echinades. Sixth in Crete near Knossos. Seventh near the Alontinoi and Kale Akte. Eighth, of Mysia. Ninth a city of Mysia on the river Rhyndakos. Tenth, by Thyateira and Ephesos. Eleventh of Phokis, which Homer calls Kyparissos, because it has many cypresses, as Didymos. Twelfth around Koile Syria. Thirteenth by Jope. Fourteenth of Mesopotamia. Fifteenth of Libya, which was called Kyrene. Sixteenth, of Lydia. Seventeenth, of Pisidia, the former Mordiaion. Eighteenth of Phrygia, of old Margion. Nineteenth on the island Siphnos. Twentieth of Syria by Apameia. Twenty-first an island by Lycia. Twenty-second, of the Ionians on the Thracian side, which Demosthenes mentions. Twenty-third, of Crete, of old Eleutherna, the fatherland of Linos. From this the natural philosopher Diogenes. Twenty-fourth in Egypt. Twenty-fifth between Babylon and Susa. Tryphon in his On Paronyms gave the ethnonym as Apollonieus; but this is not from the city, but from 'Apollonion', as 'Doulichion' 'Doulichieus'.
