Γύθειον, πόλις Λακωνική. Λυκόφρων “δισσὰς σαλάμβας κἀπὶ Γυθείου πλάκας”. τινές φασιν ὅτι Πύθιον ἐκαλεῖτο, κακῶς. ὁ πολίτης Γυθεάτης. καὶ τὸ ἐκ τόπου Γυθείηθεν ἐθνικόν.

Gytheion: a Laconian city. Lykophron: "two Salambai and the plains by Gytheion". Some say it was called Pythion, wrongly. The citizen Gytheates. And the ethnonym from the place Gytheiethen.
