Lycius (Lukios), i. e. the Lycian, a surname of Apollo, who was worshipped in
several places of Lycia, and had a sanctuary and oracle at Patara in Lycia. (Pind.
Pyth. i. 39; Propert. iii. 1. 38; Virg. Aen. iv. 143, 346, 377). It must, however,
be observed, that Lycius is often used in the sense of Lyceius, and in allusion
to his being the slayer of wolves. (Comp. Serv. ad Aen. iv. 377, who gives several
other explanations of the name; Paus. ii. 9. 7, 19. 3; Philostr. Her. x. 4; Eustath.
