Notes
- Attested in this unaspirated form only here and in the parallel entry in ps.-Zonaras. Presumably, nevertheless, Helge (a.k.a Caesarea Germanice) in northern Turkey; Barrington Atlas map 52 grid D4.
The alternatives are:
- Helike (At least 3 cities of this name are known, 2 in Spain including present-day Elche; one in Achaia, N Peloponnese, Greece)
- Elgos in Lydia, mentioned by Stephanus of Byzantium s.v.
