ἀλλὰ μὴν καὶ κινάραν ὠνόμασε παραπλησίως
ἡμῖν Σώπατρος ὁ Πάφιος γεγονὼς τοῖς χρόνοις κατ᾽
Ἀλέξανδρον τὸν Φιλίππου, ἐπιβιοὺς δὲ καὶ ἕως τοῦ
δευτέρου τῆς Αἰγύπτου βασιλέως, ὡς αὐτὸς ἐμφανίζει
ἔν τινι τῶν συγγραμμάτων αὑτοῦ. Πτολεμαῖος δ᾽
ὁ Εὐεργέτης βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου, εἷς ὢν τῶν Ἀριστάρχου τοῦ γραμματικοῦ μαθητῶν, ἐν δευτέρῳ ὑπομνημάτων γράφει οὕτως ῾FHG III 186':' ‘περὶ Βερενίκην
τῆς Λιβύης Λήθων ποτάμιον, ἐν ᾧ γίνεται ἰχθὺς λάβραξ καὶ χρύσοφρυς καὶ ἐγχέλεων πλῆθος [καὶ] τῶν
καλουμένων βασιλικῶν, αἳ τῶν τε ἐκ Μακεδονίας καὶ
τῆς Κωπαίδος λίμνης τὸ μέγεθός εἰσιν ἡμιόλιαι, πᾶν
τε τὸ ῥεῖθρον αὐτοῦ ἰχθύων ποικίλων ἐστὶ πλῆρες.
πολλῆς δ᾽ ἐν τοῖς τόποις κινάρας φυομένης οἵ τε
συνακολουθοῦντες ἡμῖν στρατιῶται πάντες δρεπόμενοι
συνεχρῶντο καὶ ἡμῖν προσέφερον ψιλοῦντες τῶν ἀκανθῶν.' οἶδα δὲ καὶ Κίναρον καλουμένην νῆσον, ἧς
μνημονεύει Σῆμος ῾FHG IV 495'.'
