Κῦνος, ἐπίνειον Ὀποῦντος, ὡς Φίλων καὶ Παυσανίας. Ἑκαταῖος δὲ πόλιν αὐτήν φησιν. Ὅμηρος “οἳ Κῦνόν τ´ ἐνέμοντ´ Ὀπόεντά τε Καλλίαρόν τε”. οἱ οἰκοῦντες Κύνιοι καὶ Κυναῖοι.

Kynos: the epineion (harbour) of Opous, according to Philon and Pausanias. Hekataios, however, says that it is itself a polis. Homer (Il. 2.531): “who dwelt in Kynos and in Opous and in Kalliaros.” The inhabitants are called Kynioi and Kynaioi.
