From Harpokration s.v. Ainious: see already under alphaiota 224.
(Entry out of alphabetical order.)
[1] So the transmitted text, with Alopekonnesians in the dative case -- but in Harpokration it is nominative, as it clearly should be: "a city whose first Greek inhabitants were Alopekonnesians". For Ainos (modern-day Enez, Edirne Province, Turkey), see Barrington Atlas map 51 grid G3.
[2] So already under alphaiota 219. (But in fact Ainios is the norm.)
