At the time of Strabo it was in ruins. The geographer places it between the cities of Callipolis and Pactya. Pliny the Elder, for his part, says it was adjacent to the Propontis, where were also the cities of Tiristasis and Cissa. Isocrates highlights the excellent situation, from the strategic point of view, of the city, as a point of control of the Hellespont. Wherefore, the year 365 BCE, it was conquered, along with Sestos, by the Athenians under the command of Timotheus. Bronze coins minted by Crithote are preserved, dated between 350 BCE and 281 BCE, with the inscriptions ΚΡΙ, ΚΡΙΘΟ o ΚΡΙΘΟΥΣΙΩΝ. Its site is located 2 miles (3 km) east of Gelibolu, in European Turkey. (en) Critote o Critota (en griego, Κριθώτη o Κριθωτή) es una antigua ciudad griega del Quersoneso tracio.

Isócrates destaca la excelente situación, desde el punto de vista estratégico, de la ciudad, como punto de control del Helesponto. Por ello, el año 365 a.

C, con las inscripciones ΚΡΙ, ΚΡΙΘΟ o ΚΡΙΘΟΥΣΙΩΝ. Se desconoce su localización exacta y se supone que debió estar al norte de la población moderna de Gelibolu. (es) |
