Κτιμένη, πόλις Θετταλίας, ὑπὸ Πηλέως Φοίνικι δωρηθεῖσα, ἧς τοὺς πολίτας Ὅμηρος Δόλοπάς φησιν, ὡς Σίντιας τῆς Λήμνου, καὶ Τρῶας τῆς Ἰλίου καὶ Ζελείας, καὶ Ἐπειοὺς τῆς Ἤλιδος, καὶ Φαίακας τῆς Σχερίας, καὶ Ἄβαντας τοὺς Εὐβοέας. καὶ “Κτιμένην Δολοπηίδα”. τὸ ἐθνικόν, ὡς Κλαζομένιος, Κτιμένιος καὶ Κτιμεναῖος.

Ktimene: a city in Thessaly, given by Peleus to Phoinix; Homer says that its citizens are ‘Dolopes’, as he calls those of Lemnos ‘Sinties’, those of Ilion and Zeleia ‘Trojans’, those of Elis ‘Epeians’, those of Scheria ‘Phaiakes’, and the Euboeans ‘Abantes’. And ‘Dolopian Ktimene’. The ethnonym, as in ‘Klazomenios’, is ‘Ktimenios’ and ‘Ktimenaios’.
