Liddell-Scott-Jones — Greek-English Lexicon

Σάμος (Samos) — Samos. Σάμος [ᾰ], ἡ, “Samos”, the name of several Greek islands:

1. old name for Κεφαλληνία (which see), [Refs 8th c.BC+]; also called Σάμη,[Refs]; though this, accusative to others, is a town on the island: hence adjective Σαμαῖος, α, ον, [Refs 1st c.BC+]

2. Σάμος Θρηϊκίη, see at {Σαμοθρᾴκη}.

3. “Samos”, the large island over against Ephesus, first in [Refs]: hence adjective Σάμιος, α, ον, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; ἡ Σαμία (i.e. γῆ) [Refs 4th c.BC+]; also Σ. ἀστήρ, clay with medicinal properties, [Refs 2nd c.AD+]:—Σαμιακός, ή, όν, [Refs 5th c.BC+] was an old word signifying a height.)
