     Das Hauptzeugnis für gr. -ειος, der aeol. Gebrauch von patronym. -ειος bei o-Stämmen, ist eine Neuerung; dieses -ειος ist als Universalsuffix auch bei Kons.-Stämmen verwendet; und es stammt als -ios-Ableitung von den Namen auf -ης, so -ειος neben -ης in Thessalien, Schwyzer, Del. 567 (-ης als -εις geschrieben) l. 80 f. Ἱπποκράτειος, 99 f. Ἀντιφάνειος, 112 Ἀντιγένειος; auf Lesbos patronym. 623, 56 Ἱερογένειος, 640 Σωγένειος, weibl. 621, 11 als Name Ἑλλανοκράτεια; das Muster für mask. -γένειος usw. war vermutlich nicht-patronym. fem. -εια (hom. ἠριγένεια, Ἰφιγένεια, Εὐρύκλεια oder -κλέεια).

     The main evidence for Greek -ειος, the Aeolic use of patronymic -ειος with o-stems, is an innovation; this -ειος is used as a universal suffix with consonant stems; and it derives from nouns in -ης as a -ios-derivation, thus -ειος [is] near -ης in Thessaly, Schwyzer, Del. 567 (-ης written as -εις) vid. 80 f. Ἱπποκράτειος, 99 f. Ἀντιφάνειος, 112 Ἀντιγένειος; patronymic on Lesbos 623, 56 Ἱερογένειος, 640 Σωγένειος, fem. 621, 11 as the name Ἑλλανοκράτεια; the example for the masculine -γένειος etc. was presumably the non-patronymic fem. -εια (Homeric ἠριγένεια, Ἰφιγένεια, Εὐρύκλεια or -κλέεια).
