More precisely,
a

Κολασσαεύς
Kolassaian, Colassaean
… 'place' in question is Rhodes. However, one sees both there
and
frequently elsewhere that Kolass-
and
Koloss-
are
variants; so more probably the present entry refers to Kolossai. This city lay on
a
tributary …

Adler
reports that one ms (F) has 'of

Κολώνεια
Koloneia, Colonea
More precisely, of

city. The headword is simply
a

addition

Κεδρωσία
Kedrosia, Gedrosia
The spelling 'Kedrosia' is used by the Suda, Diodorus Siculus
and
Agatharchides.
Most other
authors,
including Strabo, Claudius Ptolemy

a
chora/territory, not

Κοτίδειον
Kotideion, Cotideum
'Kotideion' is
attested
only here
and,
according
to
Adler,
in the
Ambrosian
Lexicon (1464). Perhaps,
as
suggested by C.A. Lobeck (1781-1860),
an
error for Kotiaeion,
a
city in Phrygia. See kappa 2163 (Barrington
