	Kition \| The Shelby White - Leon Levy Program for Archaeological Publications
		It was decided that the best way to proceed with the publication of Kition VI would be the initial publication of a volume of plates for the objects.
		In the preliminary publication (Karageorghis 1976), as well as in Kition II and III, which dealt with the Egyptian and Egyptianizing objects and the Phoenician inscriptions respectively, I used a chronology which was very tentative.
		VI comprises a large number of appendices written by experts, which are most valuable for the understanding of a number of specific groups of objects, ceramics, seals, coins, lamps etc. May they all find here the expression of my gratitude and my apologies for the long delay which occurred before their studies appeared in print.

		The oldest etymology is apparently that of Josephus, who connects Kittim with the well-known old Cypriote city Kition (Citium) (Ant., I, vi, 1), testifying to the settling of the Kittim on the island.
		If Kition be, then, a Semitic word (from the same root as the Hebrew Kittim), it has been transferred from the small band of Phoenician settlers which it at first designated, to the non-Sem Japhethites of the West.
		Kition occurs in the Phoenician inscriptions of Cyprus under the forms K(i)t(t) and K(i)t(t)i, the latter being by far the more common (CIS, I, i, 10,11,14,19, etc.).

	Father Demetrios Serfes - Life Of Saint Lazarus
		The event of the transport of the holy relics from Kition to Constantinople was immortalized by Arethas, bishop of Caesarea, in two of his famous speeches, made on the occasion.
		In the first speech he praises the arrival of the sacred relics from Kition to Constantinople, and in the second one he describes in detail the procession which the emperor formed to carry the relics from Chrysoupolis to the great cathedral of Saint Sophia.
		This privilege was revoked in 1784 owing the efforts of Archbishop Chrysanthos [1767-1810] and the bishop of Kition Meteios A' [1776-1790], because the Roman Catholic Church, quoting their privilege, laid claims of joint ownership to the Church.

		Last week, in a public row through radio and TV stations, Chrysostomos of Kition, who sparked the claims over changes of the investigative committee’s mandate, insisting he was right, vowed to stand down and called Chrysostomos of Paphos to do the same if he was proved wrong.
		Well-informed sources told reporters that the presence of all bishops during the reading of the announcement after the meeting was agreed to keep up appearances of Church unity and that the absence of Yeorgios of Arsinoe was the product of an intense climate during Monday’s meeting.

	Balaam's Kittim Oracle
		However ambiguous the archaeological finds at Kition, showing a short abandonment of the site in some areals between 1000 BC and the end of 9th century, one should not overstate this case.
		An identity between Kittim and Kition would thus not create problems since the identification of biblical Kittim is not the same with the issue of its Phoenician colonisation or the date of late antique Kition.
		Besides, should Kition be Kittim, this would mean that Cyprus would appear in Gen. 10 twice, once under Elisha/Alashiya and than under Kittim (not even by the side of Elisha in Gen. 10).

		Kition was in fact a separate population from the Greeks and Cyprus was basically divided between the two peoples: it was an island divided in two.
		There is nothing out of place to find both Alayisha and Kition mentioned in the table of nations, especially when it does mix eras so much.
		Kition has little to do with the Greeks other than as a thorn in the side of the Cypriot Greek states.

		The Phoenicians founded merchant colonies as early as the 11th century (at Hazor and Gaza in Palestine, Memphis in Egypt, and Kition (Latarkia) in Cyprus), but these were all quarters within established cities rather than separate settlements.
		Around 850, the settlement at Kition moved out of the native town and established itself as an independent town called Qart Hadasht—New City.
		The city's Phoenician name was the same as Kition's: Qart-Hadasht (Greek Carchedon and Latin Carthago).

		The move will come from Kition Bishop Chrysostomos, who wants to restore peace in Church circles after the crisis split the bishops over whether or not elections for a new Archbishop should be held.
		President Papadopoulos had said the "issue of the Church should be resolved as soon as possible," but the Kition bishop yesterday said that his decision was also triggered by a number of Diko and Disy Mps as well as Larnaca citizens, whom he met at this week’s Larnaca Chamber of Commerce meeting.

		Literary texts and inscriptions suggest that by the Classical period Kition was one of the principal local powers, along with its neighbor Salamis.
