Translation: [It was] customary for the ancients to speak of the gods [by saying] 'he in Melite', 'he in
Klaros'; but in reference to humans [it would be] 'he from Melite', 'he from
Klaros'. Similarly also in reference to every city and country.

Notes:
From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Frogs 501, where the phrase
ou(k *meli/ths mastigi/as occurs (of a human); cf.
mu 262.
The principal deity 'in' Melite, an inner-city deme of
Athens, was Herakles; the one 'in'
Klaros, on the coast of Asia Minor south of
Kolophon, was the oracular Apollo. (As an epithet of Apollo,
*Kla/rios occurs in
Hesychius kappa2869. It is also attested for Zeus --
Aeschylus,
Supplices 360;
Pausanias 8.53.9: see LSJ at web address 1 -- but with a long alpha, i.e. as a Dorian dialect word connected with
klh=ros, and thus meaning "[equally] distributing" without reference to a cultic place.)
