Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Cherronesos: a city on the peninsula near Knidos, by Triopion. A citizen is a 'Cherronesios'. Ailianos, in book 2 of his Historical Discourse: 'The Cherronesioi are named after Knidos.' (2) There is a city called Cherronesos in Thrake, concerning which Hekataios says in his Europe: 'Among them is a city, Chersonesos, on the isthmus of the peninsula.' He also calls a citizen a 'Cherronesios': 'To the south, the Apsinthians border the [Chersonesioi]. [Herodotos, however, says:] ‘The Chersonesitai signalled to the Athenians from the towers what had happened.’' He also calls these... 'Cherronesioi'. Euripides uses the feminine form: 'who [held] the finest Chersonesian plain'. (3) There is also a city in Taurike. Herodotos, book 4: 'The Tauric people occupy the land as far as the peninsula called Rugged.' Its ethnonym is 'Cherronesites'. (4) Cherronesos, near the island of Crete, has a small town of the same name. Xenion, in his work on Crete: 'Along the same coast, Cherronesos is also situated near the sea, between Knosos and Olous.' Its citizens are likewise 'Cherronesitai' and 'Cherronesioi', as he himself says. (5) There is a city in Libya called Cherroura, as per Alexandros in book 3 of his Libyka: 'Next comes a peninsula named Cherroura.' A citizen is a 'Cherrourios', as 'Taucheirios' is from the name Taucheira. (6) Cherronesos near Korinthos. There is also another promontory called Cherronesos in Lykia, and another near the city of the Koronitai. Their ethnonym is 'Cherronesios'.
