Breve descrizione dei contenuti:
This paper deals with the Lycian toponym Ἐρευάτης, attested in the epit- ome of the Ethnica by Stephanus of Byzantium, from a linguistic point of view. First, it is argued that, despite Meinekius’s suppositions, which have affected the text of the most recent edition of Stephanus’ work, no lacuna should be assumed in the text, which clearly includes a gloss explaining the Lycian name of the nymph Ereua. An etymological analysis of the different Lycian forms potentially underlying the Greek rendering Ἐρευάτης is then provided. Finally, a discussion on Stephanus’ sources on Lycia is offered, and the issue of the reliability of the Lycian glosses found in Stephanus’ work is briefly addressed.
