Translation

[Kios↗ is] an island, one of Kyklades, lying near Attica. Lysias called the island a city.¹ But frequently other orators, too, give the name of "city" to the islands.²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Κίοι· νῆσος μὲν μία τῶν Κυκλάδων, παρακειμένη τῇ Ἀττικῇ· πόλιν δὲ τὴν νῆσον Λυσίας ἐκάλεσεν. ἀλλὰ καὶ ἄλλοι πολλάκις τῶν ῥητόρων τὰς νήσους πόλεις ὀνομάζουσιν.

Notes (2)

Abbreviated from Harpokration s.v. Keioi (sic - i.e. concerning Keos/Ceos, the authentic classical spelling of which has appeared under kappa 1476).
1Lysias fr. 96 Sauppe, now 109 Carey OCT. ↩
2Harpok had in fact given examples not from oratory but from tragedy (Euripides, Ion 294 on Euboia) and comedy (Aristophanes, Peace 251 on 'Sicily' - implicitly Syracuse). ↩
