Translation: Most people [use the term to mean] confined area or, generally, neighborhood, but others say that the demes within the city are called villages. Also [that] the demesmen within the city and, generally, those who live in the same district and part of the city [are called]
kwmh=tai ["villagers"].
Aristophanes [uses the term] this way.[1]
Thucydides, also, speaks of demes as "villages" in [book] 1: "[
Sparta] was inhabited by villages in the ancient manner."[2]

Notes:
Same entry in
Photius,
Lexicon kappa1310 Theodoridis (q.v. for other references).
The headword, evidently quoted from somewhere, is the accusative case of the feminine noun
kw/mh (
kappa 2258). See also
kappa 2260,
kappa 2261,
kappa 2262,
kappa 2263.
[1] That is,
Aristophanes uses
kwmh/ths ("villager") in this way:
Clouds 965 (web address 1); cf.
Lysistrata 5; the headword itself is not attested in
Aristophanes.

Thucydides 1.10.2 (web address 2).
