A proper name.[1]

Greek Original:
Arganthônê: onoma kurion. kai Arganthôneios klinê. kai Arganthônion de oros tês Kiou nêsou.
Notes:
[1] Feminine, so of a woman or more probably (see below) a place.
[2] Attested only here.
[3] Kios (kappa 1571) was not an island -- perhaps there is confusion with Chios here -- but a coastal city of Bithynia; Mount Arganthoneion, to the north, extends into the Propontis.
