Berecynthia

ΦΡΥΓΙΑ (Αρχαία χώρα) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Berecynthia (Berekunthia), a surname of Cybele, which she derived either from mount Berecynthus, or from a fortified place of that name in Phrygia, where she was particularly worshipped. Mount Berecynthus again derived its name from Berecynthus, a priest of Cybele. (Callim. Hymn. in Dian. 246; Serv. ad Aen. ix. 82, vi. 785; Strab. x.; Plut. de Flum. 10.)
