Paus. 8.3.4,

34.6;
Κρῶμνος,, Xen.
Hell. 7.4.21;
Κρῶμνα,
Steph. B. sub voce a town of Arcadia on the frontiers of Messenia, the inhabitants of which were removed to Megalopolis, on the foundation of the latter city in B.C. 371. Its territory is called CROMITIS (
Κρωμῖτις) by Pausanias (
8.34.6).
It is placed by Boblaye at
Neockhório, but by Leake at
Samará, a little westward of
Londári, since the latter writer conceives it to have been on the route leading from Megalopolis to Carnasium, and not on the one leading to Messene. (Boblaye,
Recherches, p. 169; Leake,
Morea, vol. ii. pp. 44, 297,
Peloponnesiaca, p. 234.)
