Psychium

Ψύχιον

Psychium (Ψύχιον, Steph. B. sub voce Ptol. 3.17.4; Ψύχεα, Stadiasm. Mar. Magn. p. 298, Hoffmann: Eth. Ψυχιεύς), a town on the south coast of Crete, placed by Ptolemy between the mouths of the rivers Massalia and Electra, and by the Stadiasmus 12 stadia to the west of Sulia, a distance which agrees very well with the situation of Kastri. (Pashley, Crete, vol. i. p. 304.)
