Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Spelled] with a diphthong, as [being] a Doric form.[1]
Apollonion [is] an abbreviated way of saying 'the shrine of Apollo'; this is also the correct reading in
Thucydides.[2] Also Poseidônion, [meaning] the [shrine] of Poseidon; like Athenaion, that of Athena, and Dionysion and Demetrion, and all such forms homonymous with the derivatives of personal names.[3] But as for Poseidaneion, [it is] clear [that it is] a Doric form.
Poseidôneion: dia diphthongou, hôs Dôriaion. hoti Apollônion bracheôs, to hieron tou Apollônos: houtôs kai para Thoukudidêi anagnôsteon. kai Poseidônion, to tou Poseidônos: hôs Athênaion, to tês Athênas, kai Dionusion kai Dêmêtrion kai panta ta toiauta homônuma tois andrônumikois. to de Poseidaneion, dêlon hoti Dôriaion.

[1] It is not obvious that Poseidoneion is Doric, although Poseidanion has a good claim to be: while it is not itself attested outside lexicography, Poseidan appears as the god's name in Doric and Aeolic poetry.

*Poseidw/nion is the usual spelling, but Ps.-Herodian discusses the spelling
*Poseidw/neion.
