Κρήστων, πόλις Θρᾴκης. ἔοικε δὲ εἶναι ἡ Κρηστών παρ´ Ἡροδότῳ. Λυκόφρων “ὁρκωμοτῆσαι τόν τε Κρηστώνης θεόν”. ὁ πολίτης Κρηστωναῖος παρὰ Πινδάρῳ. Ῥιανὸς δὲ Κρηστωνίους αὐτούς φησιν. Ἑκαταῖος δὲ Κρηστῶνας αὐτοὺς ἐν Εὐρώπῃ. καὶ Κρηστωνικόν κτητικόν.
Krestōnē: a city of Thrace. It seems to be the same as the Krestōn mentioned by Herodotus. Lycophron (937): “to swear by the god of Krestōnē.” The citizen is Krestōnaîos, in Pindar. But Rhiannus says that they themselves are Krestōnioi. Hecataeus, however, has Krestōnes themselves in Europe. Also Krestōnikon, the possessive adjective.
