Passage 2.25.5
τὸ δὲ χωρίον τότε μὲν Λυγκεία ἐκαλεῖτο, οἰκήσαντος δὲ ὕστερον ἐν αὐτῷ Λύρκου---παῖς δὲ ἦν Ἄβαντος νόθος--- τὸ ὄνομα διʼ αὐτὸν ἔσχηκε· καὶ ἄλλα τέ ἐστιν οὐκ ἀξιόλογα ἐν τοῖς ἐρειπίοις καὶ εἰκὼν ἐπὶ στήλῃ τοῦ Λύρκου. ἐς μὲν δὴ ταύτην ἐστὶν ἐξ Ἄργους ἑξήκοντα μάλιστά που στάδια, ἐκ δὲ Λυρκείας ἕτερα τοσαῦτα ἐς Ὀρνεάς. Λυρκείας μὲν δὴ πόλεως, ἅτε ἠρημωμένης ἤδη κατὰ τὴν Ἑλλήνων στρατείαν ἐπὶ Ἴλιον, οὐκ ἐποιήσατο Ὅμηρος ἐν καταλόγῳ μνήμην· Ὀρνεὰς δέ---ἔτι γὰρ ᾠκοῦντο---, ὥσπερ τῷ τόπῳ τῆς Ἀργείας ἔκειντο, οὕτω καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἔπεσι προτέρας ἢ Φλιοῦντά τε καὶ Σικυῶνα κατέλεξεν.
At that time, the place was called Lynkeia, but after Lyrkos settled there—he was an illegitimate son of Abas—it received its new name from him. Among the ruins there are other things not much worth mentioning, and also an image of Lyrkos set upon a stone pillar. From Argos to this place is approximately sixty stades, and from Lyrkeia another sixty stades to Orneai. Homer made no mention of the city of Lyrkeia in his catalogue, as by the time of the Greek expedition against Ilium it was already deserted. But Orneai, which was still inhabited, he listed ahead of Phlious and Sikyon, just as it lay nearer in location to Argos.
