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.
Ktimenē: a city of Thessaly, given by Peleus as a gift to Phoenix; its inhabitants Homer (Il. 9.484) says are Dolopians—just as he speaks of the Sintians of Lemnos (Il. 1.594; Od. 8.294), and the Trojans of Ilion and Zeleia (Il. 2.824), and the Epeians of Elis (Il. 2.619), and the Phaeacians of Scheria (Od. 5.35, 386; 6.55, etc.), and the Abantes, i.e. the Euboeans (Il. 2.536). Also: “Ktimenē in Dolopia” (Apollonius Rhodius 1.68). The ethnic (gentilic) is—by analogy with Klazomenios—Ktimenios and Ktimēnaios.
