Φόρκυς δαίμων θαλάσσιος, τὸ πρότερον διατρίβων πρὸς τῷ Ἀρυμνίῳ λεγομένῳ ὄρει τῆς Ἀχαΐας, οἰκῶν τε τὴν Φόρκυνος ἀπ ̓ αὐτοῦ καλουμένην βῆσσαν. Κάτω (κᾆτα em. Barn.) φανὲν αὐτῷ καταλιπεῖν τὰς τρίβους ταύτας, ἀφίκετο εἰς τὴν Κεφαλληνίαν, καὶ τόπον ἐκλεξάμενος ἐπιτήδειον αὐτῷ ἐνταῦθα ᾤκησεν. Λέγεται δὲ Ἄμμος ὁ τόπος. Προςορμίσας [δὲ] εἰς τὸν τῆς Ἰθάκης λιμένα, ἠξίωσεν αὐτὸν ἀφ ̓ ἑαυτοῦ προσαγορεύεσθαι Φόρκυνος. Ἡ δὲ Ἱστορία παρὰ Ἡροδότῳ (Ἡροδώρῳ̣).
