ERITION (Ancient city) THESSALIA
A town of Perrhaebia in Thessaly, appears to have been near Cyretiae, since it
was taken along with the latter town by M. Baebius in B.C. 191. (Liv. xxxvi. 13.)
Leake places it at Paleokastro, a village above Sykia, on the left bank of the
Vurgaris, a river of Tripolitis. In the church of St. George, which occupies the
site of the ancient Cyretiae, Leake noticed an inscribed stone, on which the name
of Apollodorus is followed by a word beginning ERE, which he conjectures with
much probability may be the place called Eritium by Livy.

ILONI (Ancient city) THESSALIA
A town of Perrhaebia in Thessaly, mentioned by Homer along with Orthe
and Oloosson, afterwards called Leimone (Aeimone), according to Strabo. The same

Olympus, not far from the river Eurotas, which the poet calls, Titaresius. Leake

KYFOS (Ancient city) THESSALIA
Cyphus. Kuphos: Eth. Kuphaios. A town of Perrhaebia in Thessaly, which supplied 22 ships
for the Trojan war. It is placed by Strabo at the foot of Mt. Olympus. (Hom. Il.
ii. 748; Strab. ix. p. 441; Lycophr. 897.) According to Stephanus there were two
cities of the name of Cyphus, one mentioned by Homer, and the other by Lycophron;
but in this he appears to have been mistaken.
