   • 1694, Stephanus Byzantinus, De urbibus, page 313:

     Dyma, urbs Achaïæ, ultima ad occidentem, quare & Callimachus in Epigrammatibus canit: Dymam profectum Achaïcam. Ipsa quoque regio antiquitus Dyma appellabatur, urbs vero Stratus. Postea vero etiam cum urbs, tum regio Dyma vocatæ sunt.

     Dyma, a city of Achaia, the westernmost one, which is why Callimachus also sings in his Epigrams: having departed for Achaic Dyma. Formerly, the region itself was also called Dyma, while the city was called Stratus. Later, however, both the city and the region were called Dyma.
