Δάφνης δὲ Τεμπίδος· Θεσσαλικῆς, διότι πρῶτον ἐκεῖ εὑρέθη τὸ φυτὸν, κατέστεφε δὲ χαίτην Δελφίδα εἶπε διὰ τὸ τὴν κόρην διωκομένην ὑπ’ Ἀπόλλωνος εἰς τοῦτο τὸ φυτὸν μεταβληθῆναι, ἐξ οὖ ἔχει καὶ τὸ ὄνομα. Δάφνη γὰρ ἡ κόρη ἐλέγετο, καὶ Ἀπόλλων ἰδὼν αὐτὴν μεταβληθεῖσαν εἰς τὸ φυτὸν ἐξ αὐτοῦ τοῦ φυτοῦ ἐστέψατο, λέγει δέ· ἢ ἀπὸ δάφνης κατὰ κοινοῦ πόσιν δίδου, τουτέστι δαφνέλαιον δὸς πιεῖν.
