Dolionis (Dolionis: Eth. Doliones). Stephanus B. (s. v. Doliones)
describes the Doliones as the inhabitants of Cyzicus, and he adds that Hecataeus
called them Dolieis: they were also called Dolionii.
The Doliones (Strab. p. 575) are, a people about Cyzicus who extended
from the river Aesepus to the Rhyndacus and the lake Dascylitis. The names Dolionis
and Doliones are connected with the earliest traditions about Cyzicus; and in
Strabo's time the Cyziceni had the Dolionis. Strabo found it hard to fix the limits
of the Bithynians, the Mysians, the Phrygians, as well as of the Doliones, those
about Cyzicus; and we cannot do more than he did. Apollonius Rhodius (Arg. i.
947) doubtless followed an old tradition when he described the Doliones as occupying
the isthmus, by which he means the isthmus of Cyzicus, and the plain, which is
probably the plain on the mainland; and here, he says, reigned Cyzicus, a son
of Aeneas.
