Greek Original:*)enoike/tis tw=n nh/swn: h( *)afrodi/th. e)caire/tws ga\r e)n au)tai=s e)tima=to.
Note:
The headword phrase is found only here. For Aphrodite see generally
alpha 4651,
alpha 4652,
alpha 4653. Apart from her birth - and ongoing significance - in
Cyprus (
kappa 2738) it is unclear why she should be especially associated with 'the islands', except perhaps in her capacity as patroness of seafarers (
Pausanias 2.34.11, etc.).
