Γόρτυν, πόλις Κρήτης. οὕτως δὲ διὰ τοῦ « ν ». ἀπὸ ἥρωος Γόρτυος. ἐκαλεῖτο δὲ καὶ Λάρισσα πρότερον γὰρ ἐκαλεῖτο Ἑλλωτίς (οὕτω γὰρ παρὰ Κρησὶν ἡ Εὐρώπη), εἶτα Λάρισσα εἶτα Κρημνία καὶ ὕστερον Γόρτυς· φασὶ δὲ τὴν αἰτιατικὴν οἱ μὲν δισυλλάβως Γόρτυν, οἱ δὲ τρισυλλάβως “Γόρτυνά τε τειχιόεσσαν”. οἱ δὲ Γόρτυναν ὡς ἄμυναν.
