Ἁλίπεδον

[Meaning a] level plain next to the sea.¹
Some people call Piraeus this.² It is also an accessible place³ which once was sea and afterwards became a plain. Hence one must aspirate the first [sc. syllable], for it is as much as to say a plain of salt [a(lo/s]. And some call the coastal plain [of Attica] this. Others [say] that it got its name from the ability for horses to roll [a)lindei=sqai] in it, that is wallow.
