Cyretiae (Churetiai, Ptol. iii. 13. § 44: Eth. Kuretieus, Kuretiaios,
Inscr., Cyretiensis), a town of Perrhaebia in Thessaly, frequently mentioned in
the Roman wars in Greece. It was plundered by the Aetolians, B.C. 200 (Liv. xxxi.
41), was taken by Antiochus, B.C. 191, but recovered by M. Baebius and Philip
in the same year (xxxvi. 10, 13), and was occupied by Perseus in B.C. 171 (xlii.
53). It was situated upon a small tributary of the Titaresius at the modern village
of Dheminiko. Its acropolis occupied the hill, on which now stands the church
of St. George, where Leake found several inscriptions, among which is a public
letter in Greek, addressed to the Tagi (magistrates) and city of the Cyretienses
by T. Quinctius Flamininus, when he commanded the Roman armies in Greece. (Leake,
Northern Greece, vol. iv. p. 304.)
