Translation
Apollonion [is] short for the shrine of Apollo. This is how one must construe it in Thucydides.1 Also [sc. attested is] Poseidonion, that of Poseidon, like Athenaion, that of Athena, and Dionysion and Demetrion and all such [shrines] that have names similar to the proper names. As to "Poseidaneion", [it is] clear that [it is] Dorian.

Ἀθήναιον· ὅτι Ἀπολλώνιον βραχέως, τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Ἀπόλλωνος. οὕτως καὶ παρὰ Θουκυδίδῃ ἀναγνωστέον. καὶ Ποσειδώνιον, τὸ τοῦ Ποσειδῶνος, ὡς Ἀθήναιον, τὸ τῆς Ἀθηνᾶς, καὶ Διονύσιον καὶ Δημήτριον καὶ πάντα τὰ τοιαῦτα ὁμώνυμα τοῖς ἀνδρωνυμικοῖς· τὸ δὲ Ποσειδάνειον, δῆλον ὅτι Δωριαῖον.
