Notes:
Abridged from Harpokration s.v., who cites
Aeschines (3.171, for the phrase "Nymphaion on the Black Sea") as well as Krateros. The qualifier was necessary to differentiate it ["Place of the Nymphs"] from its many homonyms; cf.
gamma 478.

Stephanus of
Byzantium s.v., citing
Strabo.
[1] Krateros FGrH 342 F8. The allusion is to the C5 BC Athenian Empire, of which Nymphaion was a tribute-paying member. See in brief Russell Meiggs,
The Athenian Empire (Oxford 1972) 329.
