Lexicon of Greek Personal Names

Post by pster »

So, I was checking out this cool web site. Seems pretty powerful. I can get it to spit out Socrates, which is their example. But I can't get Apollo or Corinth or Epidamnu(/o)s. Is anybody familiar with it? They seem to include place names; but I don't understand why they say "Personal" rather than "Proper". Also, I can find Socrates without using a capital "s", but I don't know why they give upper and lower case in their transliteration table. Does anybody know how it works? Can you get Epidamnus?
