ἉΛΙΠΕΔΟΝ τινες τὸν Πειραιᾶ φασίν. ἔστι δὲ καὶ κοινῶς τόπος ὃς πάλαι μὲν ἦν θάλασσα, αὖθις δὲ πεδίον ἐγένετο. διὸ καὶ δασύνεται ἡ πρώτη· ἔστι γὰρ οἷον ἁλὸς πεδίον. ἤτοι ὁμαλὸν πεδίον καὶ τετριμμένον καὶ οἷον ἀληλεσμένον, ὡς Ἀριστοφάνης Δαιταλεῦσιν διὰ ψιλοῦ ἐν ἀλιπέδῳ. ἔνιοι δὲ φασιν ὅτι τὸ παραθαλάσσιον πεδίον οὕτω λέγεται. τινὲς δέ φασι παρὰ τὸ ἀλινδεῖσθαι ἵππους ἐν αὐτῷ δύνασθαι, ὅ ἐστι κονίσασθαι, οὕτως ὀνομασθῆναι.
