Translation
A proper name; [the one] which [is] also Neileus in common dialect1 or Neileus in Aeolic.2 A colony of his is reported [to have gone] into Asia.3 From, they say, the [word] ne/os ['new'] and the word lew/s ['people'] comes Neoleos and by crasis of e and o to the diphthong ei [comes] Neileos, as in Kleosthenes, Kleisthenes, Pleosthenes, Pleisthenes, de/on , dei=n , ple/on , plei=n . Or, they say, from Neleus, genitive Neleos has come Neileos by ascent of the genitive to the nominative and by Boiotian change of the eta to the diphthong ei produced, as in Aeolic with proparoxytonesis.
