We leam, tunrerer, that Cjina waa fiianded after Neon Teichoe, and it waa named Phricoois from the mountitin in Locris. Stiahb obatrrea (p. S23) that CjiUB waa the largest and Dobltet of the Aeolian citiea; and Cjate and Leaboa might be conaiilered the parent cities of the other dtjea, which were about thirtj in number, of which not a few had ceiaed to aiaL Herodotua (L 197) obearm that the Aeoliana and loniaoB naed to coosult tho oracle at Bmnchidae, and he lella a etorj about the CjmaeuiB anenlting it when Pactjes the Lj'dian fied to them to eacape punlahment from the peniana.

Bnt Cyme waa aoon re- coTBTed by the Peniaos (t. 3B, 123). Sandocn, tbe gotenor of Cyme in the time of Xenee, com- Oiaoded fifteen shipa in the great expedition againEt Greece (b. c 480). He wema to have been a Gieek. (Herod. viL 194.) The remnant <£ the fleet of Xenea which escaped Erocn Salamia wintered at Cyme. (Herod. Tiii. I3a) The hiitoi? of Cyme is Tery hamn, nrtwithitandmg what Strabo saya of its greatneu. The place ia hardly more than mentioned in tbehiat(B7i^Thacydid(a(iiL31, nil. 31, 100). After the concliuim of the war of the Bomans agamst Antioehna, Cyme, like Colophm [Colo- PHoh], obtained fiwdam from taiation. (Pidyb. uii. a?; Lit. ixiviiL 39.) It was afterwaida in- cluded in the Boman porince of Asia. It waa one of the dliea of Aaia that was damaged by the great earthquake in the time of TiberiOD. (Tadt. .Jm. ii. 47.) Plmy (t. 30) mentiona Cyme in hia liat of Aeulian cjtia; and Ptotemy (t. 2). Under the Byiantina empn it m* a bishi^'a see.

KunuBtit, KuvaiBai(J(,Po1yb.j KumBuili, Pans.: Kalivryla), a town in the north of Arcadia, situated upon the northern alope of the Amman Biouutaina, which dirided ile territory from thoee of Cteitor and Fhe- □ene. The inhabitants of Cynaetha were the oily Arcadians who lited beyond the natural baundarica of Arcadia. Their Talley sloped down towards the Corinthian gulf; and the riTer which Sowed thmngh it, fell into the Corinthian gulf a little to the esat of Bora : thU riTer waa called in ancient timee Eraai- noa or BonuCDB, now river of KaJivryta. (Strah, Tiu.p.371; Pans. vii.a4.g S.) The cUmila and BJlnation of Cynaetha are described by Polybiua aa the moet diugreeable in all Arcadia. The ums author obeervos that the character of the Cynae* tbians presented a striking contnat to that of tho other Arcadiana, being a wicked and cruel race, and so much disliked by the net of their countrymen, that tho latter would scarcely hold any intercourse with them. He attribulea their depravity la their u^lect of music, which had tended to humaniie the other Arcadians, and to cuonteract the natural mdenen engendered by their climate. Accordingly, he nt- ganied the lerrible misfcrtune which oveitixih the CynaetbUng in the Sodal war, when then: city waa destioyed by the Aelsliana, as a righteous punish- ment for thdr wickedMw, (Polyb. iv. 18—21.) Although Strabo (viii. p. 3SS) mentions Cynaetha. aa one of Ihe Arcadian towna no longer eiisting in his lime, it must have been reetored at some period after its deatmction by Ihe Aetohans, as it waa visited by Pausaniaa, who noticed in ihe agora altera of the gods and a alatue of the emperor Hadrian. At the diatams of two aladia from the town was a fountain of cold water, called Alyasus, becanae it was and to cura hydnqihobia. (Paus. liiL 19.) There am be no dunbt that the modem Tillage 1^ Kaliofyla occupiea the sla of Cynaetha, although it contains >cair«Iy any tracea of the ancient city.
