Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Caere (also written Caere/Cære)">Agylla, a city in Tyrrhenia. Lykophron: ‘He came revelling into Ausonian Agylla.’ It is a foundation of the Pelasgians from Thessaly, and was renamed Kaire. For, while the Thessalians held the city, one of the Tyrrhenians who had migrated from Lydia approached and asked what the city’s name was. Instead of answering, someone said ‘chaire’ (‘greetings’); hence, when the Tyrrhenians gained control, they called it Kaire. The ethnonym is ‘Kairetanoi’, as per Strabo. A citizen is an ‘Agyllaios’. Rhianos spoke of ‘Agyllian bronze’.
