ΚΕΣΤΡΙΝΗ (Χωριό) ΘΕΣΠΡΩΤΙΑ
Cestrine (Kestrine, Thuc. Paus.; Kestrinia, Steph. B. s. v. Kammania;
Kestria, Steph. B. s. v. Troia), a district of Epeirus in the south of Chaonia,
separated from Thesprotia by the river Thyamis. (Thuc. i. 46.) It is said to have
received its name from Cestrinus, son of Helenus and Andromache, having been previously
called Cammania. (Paus. i. 11. § 1, ii. 23. § 6; Steph. B. s. v. Kammania.) The
principal town of this district is called Cestria by Pliny (iv. 1), but its more
usual name appears to have been Ilium or Troja, in memory of the Trojan colony
of Helenus. (Steph. B. s. v. Troia.) The remains of this town are still visible
at the spot called Palea Venetia, near the town of Filiates. In the neighbourhood
are those fertile pastures, which were celebrated in ancient times for the Cestrinic
oxen. (Hesych. s. v. Kestrinikoi Boes; Schol. ad Aristoph. Pac. 924.) The inhabitants
of the district were called Kestrenoi by the poet Rhianus (Steph. B. s. v. Chaunoi).
