A place/territory.
And it declines *)hli/ou [in the genitive].¹

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἠλία· χώρα. καὶ κλίνεται Ἠλίου.

Betacode

*)hli/a: xw/ra. kai\ kli/netai *)hli/ou.

Notes (1)

A problematic entry (also in ps.-Zonaras). The nominative Elia is perhaps a variant of Elis (eta 243), but a genitive Eliou makes a bad fit. (Perhaps [DW] displaced from eta 212, cf. eta 236.)
1Added in the margin, Adler reports, of mss VM. ↩
