Kammania: a region of Thesprotia. It was renamed Kestrinia, from which comes the river Kadmos. Kestrinos is a foundation of Kestrinos son of Helenos the Priamid. The inhabitants are 'Kammanoi', just as 'Kampanoi' is from the name Kampania.

Commentary (1)

The inhabitants are 'Kammanoi', just as 'Kampanoi' is from the name Kampania.

The comparison preserves a Greek wordplay: Καμμανία yields Καμμανοί, modeled on Καμπανία and Καμπανοί.
