Notes:
[1] Not quite: a city on the east-facing coast of Lycia; Barrington Atlas map 65 grid E4; present-day Tekirova in Turkey. (See also theta 138, theta 139, kappa 1620, sigma 364, sigma 1336.) Stephanus of Byzantium s.v. singles out Herodian for the assertion that Ph. was an island.
[2] See e.g. theta 138, theta 139.
[3] = Photius, Lexicon phi78 Theodoridis (taken to come from Pausanias the Atticist); cf. Zenobius 6.36, etc. Callimachus: fr. 405 Pfeiffer. Other versions give the name as Kolabros or, and very probably correctly, Kylabras (as Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 7.297E-F = 7.51 Kaibel). The words 'and bloodless', not in all versions, are dubious.
