Ctimene

ΚΤΙΜΕΝΗ (Χωριό) ΚΑΡΔΙΤΣΑ
  Ctimene (Ktimene), a town in Thessaly, on the borders of Dolopia and Phthia, near the lake Xynias. (Apoll. Rhod. i. 67.) The town called Cymene in the present text of Livy (xxxii. 13) is probably a corruption of Ctimene. Stephanus B. mentions a tradition, that Ctimene had been given by Peleus to Phoenix (s. v. Ktimene). (Leake, Northern Greece, vol. iv. p. 517.)

Dhranista

  A modern town above the E bank of the Papitsa river (influent to the Sophaditikos), in mountainous country between the Spercheios valley and the W Thessalian plain, ca. 9 km E-NE of Lake Xynias. Just to the W of Anodhranista is a circular fortification wall of polygonal masonry, ca. 4 m thick and ca. 240 m around. The remains of two projecting towers are preserved. A little to the S of this circuit are short stretches of two walls concentric to it, close together, which may be terrace walls or the remains of larger circuits. To the S of these are the remains of a tholos tomb excavated in 1911, which was said to have contained Geometric sherds and to have dated from the late Mycenaean-8th c. B.C. The finds have not been published.
