CERTO´NIUM
CERTO´NIUM or
CERTO´NUS (
Κερτώνιον,
Κερτωνός), a place in Mysia, only mentioned by Xenophon (
Xen. Anab. 7.8.8), on the road between Adramyttium and Atarneus.
It has been conjectured that it may be the Cytonium (
Κυτώνιον) of Theopompus (Steph. s. v.
Κυτώνιον). But Cytonium was between Mysia and Lydia; and Xenophon's Certonus is in Mysia.
