==Name== The name given in Greek texts is ''Κάμπη'', with an accent on the first syllable. As a common noun ''κάμπη'' is the Greek word for caterpillar or silkworm. It is probably related to the homophone ''καμπή'' (with the accent on the second syllable) whose first meaning is the winding of a river, and came to mean, more generally, any kind of bend, or curve.<ref>Ogden, p. 86; [[LSJ]], s.vv.
