Delos lies a certain islet, which some call Psamite.[1] They say that it is called this because the goddess is honoured with

Ἑκάτης νήσου: πρὸ τῆς Δήλου κεῖταί τι νησύδριον, ὃ ὑπ' ἐνίων Ψαμίτη καλεῖται. καλεῖσθαι δὲ οὕτως φασὶν αὐτὴν διὰ τὸ τοῖς ψαμίτοις τιμᾶσθαι τὴν θεόν. ψάμιτον δέ ἐστι ψαιστῶν τις ἰδέα.
