Notes:
From Harpokration s.v., where 'island' is nominative (not genitive, as here) and where citations for the phrase are given: Lycurgus fr.88 Conomis, and the historians Phanodemos (FGrH 325 F1) and Semos (FGrH 396 F2).
For Delos see delta 407, delta 408; for Hekate see epsilon 363, epsilon 364.
cf. psi 21.
