[Ἀρκαδία], ..... Ἀρκάς Ἀρκάδος, ἀφ´ οὗ Ἀρκάδιος καὶ Ἀρκαδία, ὡς Τέμμιξ Τέμμικος Τεμμικία. ἐκαλεῖτο δὲ Πελασγία, ὡς Νικόλαος πέμπτῃ. Ἀπολλόδωρος ἐν τῷ περὶ θεῶν ἑκκαιδεκάτῳ βιβλίῳ περὶ Δήμητρός φησιν ὅτι Ἀρκάδια τῇ Δήμητρι μέλλοντες θύειν οἱ ἄνθρωποι, ταύτην γὰρ τὴν θυσίαν συνεστήσαντο μετὰ τὸν πρῶτον σπόρον, ὅτι αὐτοῖς ἐκ τῆς γῆς ἔμολεν ὁ καρπὸς εἰς τροφὴν καὶ σπόρον. καὶ οὕτω τὰ Ἀρκάδια τιμῆς χάριν. ἐκλήθη δὲ καὶ Παρρασία καὶ Λυκαονία. οἱ δὲ καὶ Γιγαντίδα φασὶ καὶ Ἀζανίαν καὶ Πανίαν. Ἵππυς δὲ ὁ Ῥηγῖνος λέγεται πρῶτος καλέσαι προσελήνους τοὺς Ἀρκάδας. καὶ τὸ ἄστρον λέγεται ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ τότε ἄρκτος κληθῆναι, ἣ ἅμαξα ἐλέγετο. Ἴστρος δέ φησιν ὅτι Θεμιστοῦς καὶ Διὸς ὁ Ἀρκὰς ἐγένετο, διὰ δὲ τὴν τῆς μητρὸς ἀποθηρίωσιν (ἄρκτῳ γὰρ ὑφ´ Ἥρας αὐτὴν ὁμοιασθῆναι) ταύτης τυχεῖν τῆς προσηγορίας. τὸ πατρωνυμικὸν Ἀρκασίδαι. ὤφειλεν οὖν Ἀρκαδίδης, ἀλλὰ διὰ τὸ κακόφωνον οὕτως ἐγένετο. τὸ θηλυκὸν Ἀρκασίς. ἔστι καὶ Ἀρκαδία παραθαλάσσιος πόλις. λέγεται καὶ Ἀρκαδικός καὶ Ἀρκαδική καὶ Ἀρκαδικόν καὶ Ἀρκαδικά. καὶ τὸ Ἀρκάδισσα παραλόγως. ἐκ τόπου Ἀρκαδίηθεν. ἐκάλουν αὐτοὺς καὶ Ἀρκαδιώνδας τοῦ « δ » πλεονάσαντος. ἔστι καὶ Ἀρκαδία Αἰγύπτου πόλις.
