f. παῖδ᾿ Ἀφροδίτης εἶπε τὴν Ῥόδον διὰ τὸ κάλλος τῆς νήσου. Ἡρόφιλος δὲ Ποσειδῶνος καὶ Ἀφροδίτης τὴν Ῥόδον εἶναί φησι, Ἐπιμένιδης (FHG IV, 404) δὲ αὐτὴν Ὠκεανοῦ γενεαλογεῖ· ἀφ᾿ ἧς τὴν πόλιν ὠνομάσθαι. τινὲς δὲ αὐτήν φασι κληθῆναι οὕτω διὰ τὸ σπουδαῖα ἔχειν ῥόδα· οἱ δὲ διὰ τὸ ῥοώδη εἶναι τὰ περὶ αὐτήν. g. ἄλλως· ὅτι Ἀφροδίτης φησὶ γενέσθαι Ῥόδον θυγατέρα, ἀφ᾿ ἧς κληθῆναι τὴν νῆσον, Ἡλίου δὲ νύμφην. h. Ἡλίου καὶ Ῥόδης ἐγένοντο παῖδες ἑπτὰ καὶ θυγάτηρ Ἠλεκτρυώνη.
