Translation
[Paianieis] and Paionidai. Two demes of Paianieis are in the Pandionid tribe [sc. in Athens]; as Diodorus says, they are called Lower and Upper Paiania.1 [sc. He also says that] the demesman of each deme is called, similarly, a Paianian. These are different from the Paionidai. This is a deme of the Leontid [tribe].
Greek original · Adler’s text
Παιανιεῖς καὶ Παιονίδαι· δῆμοι διττοί εἰσι Παιανίων τῆς Πανδιονίδος φυλῆς, ὡς Διόδωρος καλεῖσθαί φησι Παιανιαίαν καθύπερθεν καὶ Παιανίαι ὑπένερθεν. τὸν δὲ δημότην ἑκατέρου δήμου καλεῖσθαι ὁμοίως Παιανιέα. διαφέρουσι δὲ οὗτοι τῶν Παιανίδων. δῆμος δέ ἐστι καὶ οὗτος τῆς Λεοντίδος.
