Cytorum

   (Kutoron). A city of Paphlagonia, on the coast between the promontory Carambis and Amastris. It was a Greek town of great antiquity, since Homer alludes to it (Il. ii. 853), and it is thought to have been founded by a colony of Milesians. According to Strabo, it had been a port of the inhabitants of Sinope. In its vicinity was a mountain, named Cytorus, which produced a beautifully veined species of box-tree. It is now Kidros.
