In other lexica (
Photius,
Hesychius) this lemma is
Σαρπηδὼν ἀκτή , but the Suda's one also appears as proverbial in
Zenobius 5.86.
Two promontories of this name are known (neither of them obviously connected with the Homeric hero
Sarpedon:
sigma 146): one in
Cilicia (Barrington
Atlas map 66 grid D4) and the other on the coast of eastern Thrace south of Ainos (map 51 grid G3). Presumably the second of these is the one meant here; note in any case Steph.Byz. s.v. '
Sarpedon, a city of Thrace'.

Mallos, the Hellenistic grammarian (
kappa 2342), a likelier candidate.
