Notes
- Abridged (as is Photius s.v.) from Harpokration s.v., commenting on the appearance of this toponym in Hyperides fr. 84 Jensen.
Also mentioned in e.g. Herodotus 7.122, Thucydides 5.18.6 & 39.1.
Mekyberna, present-day Molivopirgos, is Barrington Atlas map 50 grid D4.
Olynthos as a toponym does not have its own Suda entry (see merely omicron 223), but cf. under delta 415, epsilon 3469, iota 667, kappa 240, kappa 356, omicron 116, sigma 1179, phi 222.
