The disyllables in -τη with a diphthong in the penult are barytone: βλαύτη, a kind of shoe; Προίτη, the city; κοίτη; δροίτη, the trough; λοίτη; Οἴτη, a mountain near Trachis. There is also a city of the Melians. βαίτη, the leather. δαίτη, the feast. But τελευτή is trisyllabic.
The appellative disyllables in -τη that have a consonant before the τ are oxytone, unless the penult has the vowel ι or ε: βροντή, εἱρκτή, πηκτή, a musical instrument. φυστή, a cake made from barley-meal and wine. ἀκτή; and thus Attica too was called, from someone named Ἀκταῖος. He was an autochthonous man, according to Favorinus, who ruled there and from himself so named both the land in this way and the peoples. But Apollodorus says the opposite: “for it was so called because a large part of it reaches down to the sea. For since it is triangular, the two sides on either side that converge upon Sunium are coastal; because of these, when there were four tribes in the time of Cecrops, they named two of them Ἀκταία and Παραλία.” There is also an Ἀκτή of Magnesia, from which Ἄκτιος and Ἐπάκτιος Apollo is honored. There is also another in Acarnania, which Demagetus mentions. There is also one of the Peloponnese, as Thucydides says, and another in the Bosporus, and a fifth in Ionia. But Demetrius mentioned only the one signifying “shore” and the region around Athos.
βλαστή: some make this barytone. At any rate κίστη is barytone, and πέλτη, the shield. Proper names, however, are barytone: Δίκτη, a mountain of Crete. Callimachus… Σπάρτη, a Laconian place, from the Σπαρτοί who were with Cadmus, about whom Timagoras says: “and when they were driven out into Laconian Sparta, they named it from themselves”; or from Spartus, son of Amyclas, son of Lelex, son of Spartus; or because the first who settled the city were Leleges—for, being scattered, they came together into the same place and made one settlement. There is also a Σπάρτη, a village near the Euxine Sea. Σάρτη, a city near Athos; Πέμπτη, a city of Egypt.
The polysyllables in -τη that, by combination, have a consonant, or have ρ before the end, being proper names, are barytone: Ἀδρήστη, Ἰοκάστη. Ὀρέστη, a city of Euboea—Hecataeus in his Circuit of Europe. Ἀκέστη, a city of Sicily, and Ἄγεστα, from Ἀκέστης. Μεγίστη, a city and island of Lycia, as the polymath says, from someone named Μεγιστεύς. Δολιχίστη; thus Alexander…
