A certain place.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Κάρθαια· τόπος τις.

Betacode

*ka/rqaia: to/pos tis.

More precisely, one of the four poleis on the Aegean island of Keos. See generally OCD(4) s.v. Ceos; and cf. under beta 59.
'A certain place' is unnecessarily tentative; Stephanus of Byzantium rightly classifies it as a polis; and cf. Strabo 10.5.6.
