Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Chytroi: Chytroi, a city of Cyprus, which Xenagoras says was named from Chytros son of Alexander son of Akamas. The citizen 'Chytrios'. Alexander in the work On Cyprus: "to give back Gordia to the Chytrioi". And again: "the king of the Chytrioi married Eurynoe". The ethnonym corresponds to the singular 'Chytros', as 'Kyprios' to Kypros.

Τὰ εἰς 'ρος' δισύλλαβα ἔχοντα πρὸ τοῦ 'ρ' τὸ 'τ' μόνον ἢ μεθ´ ἑτέρου συμφώνου μὴ ἐπιθετικὰ βαρύνεται, Χύτρος Κύπρου πόλις, ἣν ὠνομάσθαι μὲν Ξεναγόρας φησὶν ἀπὸ Χύτρου τοῦ Ἀλεξάνδρου τοῦ Ἀκάμαντος. Λεῦκτρος, οἶστρος, βόστρος, Ἴστρος ἔθνος ἐν τῷ Ἰονίῳ κόλπῳ. Ἑκαταῖος Εὐρώπῃ. ἔστι δὲ καὶ πόλις Κρήτης, ἣν Ἀρτεμίδωρος Ἰστρῶνά φησι. δευτέρα πόλις Ἴστρος ἐν τῷ Πόντῳ.
