[1] Though this entry does involve real confusion of toponyms (see n. 3 below) it does not begin here: Kalymnos and Kalydne are alternative names for the Aegean island NW of Kos.
[2] Ptolemy II Philadelphus, ruler of Egypt 282-246.
[3] But read *kaludnw=n instead of the transmitted *kaludw=nos (for which latter cf. kappa 266). See also Homer, Iliad 2.677 (web address 1) with scholia, and Strabo 10.5.19.
