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: in the region of Salamis. Sophocles in *Teukros*. [So called] from Kychreus, son of Salamis and Poseidon, who was nicknamed “Serpent” because of the harshness of his character; when he was ravaging the island, Eurylochos drove him out. Demeter, however, received him at Eleusis and made him her attendant. From him too Salamis was called Kychreia, as Strabo says. The ethnic is *Kychreopagitēs*.
