Θεστιάδες· ἐκ πολλῶν γυναικῶν ἦσαν νʹ θυγατέρες, αἷς Ἡρακλῆς ἐμίγη.

Notes

Repeated from theta 274. The headword appears both times as Thestiades, but at 274 alphabetical order requires it (as Bernhardy noted) to be Thespiades, and Thespius is indeed the commoner form of the name of this man (the eponym of the city of Thespiai: theta 276, theta 277, theta 278). See e.g. Diodorus Siculus 4.29; Apollodorus 2.7.8.
