Headword: Amphiktuones
Adler number: alpha,1736
Translated headword: Amphiktyons, Amphictyons
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
The Amphictyon is a Greek council, convened in Thermopylai. [The] Amphiktyons took their name from from Amphiktyon the son of Deukalion. For it was he, as king, who convened the peoples. They were twelve: Ionians, Dorians, Perrhaiboi, Boiotians, Magnesians, Achaians, Phthiotians, Molians,[1] Dolopes, Aenianians, Delphians, Phocians. But some say it is thus called from being neighbors to and convening in Delphi.
Also [sc. attested is the phrase] 'Amphiktyonic territory'; but 'Amphitryonic [sic] battle'.[2]
[The noun] Amphiktyon preserves [omega in the genitive, i.e.] *)amfiktu/wnos. But Amphiktyon shortens [its o to] *)amfiktu/onos.[3]
Greek Original:
Amphiktuones: sunedrion estin ho Amphiktuôn Hellênikon, sunagomenon en Thermopulais. ônomasthêsan de Amphiktuones apo Amphiktuonos tou Deukaliônos. autos gar sunêgage ta ethnê basileuôn. tauta d' ên ib#: Iônes, Dôrieis, Perraiboi, Boiôtoi, Magnêtes, Achaioi, Phthiôtai, Molieis, Dolopes, Ainianes, Delphoi, Phôkeis. hoi de phasin ônomasthai apo tou perioikous einai tôn Delphôn tous sunachthentas. kai Amphiktuôneios chôra: Amphitruôneios de machê.

Notes:
The first and principal part of this entry is abridged from Harpokration (cf. Photius) s.v., where Theopompus (FGrH 115 F63) and Anaximenes (FGrH 72 F2) are cited.
[1] Thus as transmitted, Molieis; but it is an error for Harpok.'s 'Melieis', i.e. the Malians.
[2] Both of these phrases are attested only here,
[3] These two concluding sentences do not make sense as they stand; some distinction between Amphiktyon and another word (Amphitryon again?) must be intended.
