Also [sc. attested is the] Kimoneion, a shrine of Kimon.[1]
*kimw/neia lei/yana. kai\ *kimw/neion, i(ero\n tou= *ki/mwnos.
For Kimon see generally
kappa 1620,
kappa 1621.
The present headword phrase (unglossed) seems to have been generated by
Plutarch,
Kimon 19.5:
ta\ lei/yana au)tou= ... ta\ me/xri nu=n *kimw/neia prosagoreuo/mena.
On the Kimoneia (in Koile, a suburb of
Athens just outside the Melite Gate) see A. Blamire,
Plutarch: Life of Kimon (London 1989) 89-90, 165, 185. A comic poet (Kratinos fr. 151 Kock = 160 Kassel/Austin) had a ruder name for them: Kimonian ruins (
ereipia).
[1] Otherwise unattested, and substantively dubious anyway, if we are meant to envisage one
in Athens. See rather Plut. loc.cit., who claims that the Cypriots of
Kition, where Kimon died, maintained a hero-cult of him.
