Κρῶμνα, πόλις Παφλαγονίας, ἡ νῦν Ἄμαστρις ὡς εἴρηται. τινὲς δέ φασι χωρίον Ἀμάστριδος. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Κρωμνίτης καὶ Κρωμναῖος καὶ Κρωμναιεύς. ἔστι καὶ Πελοποννήσου πόλις ἀρσενικῶς καὶ θηλυκῶς καὶ ἑνικῶς καὶ πληθυντικῶς. ἀπὸ Κρώμνου τοῦ Λυκάονος.
Kromna: a city of Paphlagonia—now Amastris, as has been said. Some, however, say it is a district (chōrion) of Amastris. The ethnicon: Kromnitēs and Kromnaios and Kromnaieus. There is also a city of the Peloponnese, with the name used in the masculine and in the feminine, and both in the singular and in the plural, deriving from Kromnos son of Lykaon.
