Κυχρεῖος πάγος, περὶ Σαλαμῖνα. Σοφοκλῆς Τεύκρῳ. ἀπὸ Κυχρέως τοῦ Σαλαμῖνος καὶ Ποσειδῶνος, ὃς ὄφις ἐπεκλήθη διὰ τὴν τραχύτητα τῶν τρόπων, ὃν λυμαινόμενον τὴν νῆσον ἀπήλασεν Εὐρύλοχος, ἐδέξατο δ´ ἐν Ἐλευσῖνι Δημήτηρ καὶ ἀμφίπολον ἐποίησεν. ἀπ´ αὐτοῦ δὲ καὶ ἡ Σαλαμὶς Κυχρεία ἐκλήθη, ὡς Στράβων. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Κυχρεοπαγίτης.

Kychreios pagos: near Salamis. Sophokles in his Teukros. From Kychreus, son of Salamis and Poseidon, who was surnamed 'Snake' because of the harshness of his character; when he was ravaging the island, Eurylochos drove him out, and Demeter received him at Eleusis and made him her attendant. After him Salamis too was called Kychreia, as per Strabo, book 9. The ethnonym is 'Kychreopagites'.
