Stephanus Byz.: Παντικάπαιο ν , πόλις μεγίστη, τῶν κατὰ Βόσπορον μητρόπολις. ᾨκίσθη δὲ παρὰ Αἰήτου παιδὸς, λαβόντος τὸν τόπον παρὰ Ἀγαήτου τοῦ Σκυθῶν βασιλέως, καὶ καλέσαντος τὴν πόλιν ἀπὸ τοῦ παραρρέοντος ποταμοῦ Παντικαποῦ Ὁ πολίτης Παντικαπαιεύς. Λέγεται καὶ Παντικαπαιάτης. Ἔστι δὲ Παντικαπαιεὺς ὡς ἀπὸ τοῦ Παντικάπη, ὡς τοῦ Σινώπη τὸ Σινωπεύς. Τὸ δὲ Παντικαπαιάτης κεῖται παρὰ Εὐστοχίῳ.
