Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography

CE´REA(Κερέα, Steph. B. s. v. Βήνη;Suid. s. v. Ῥιανός: Eth. Κερεάτης, Plb. 4.53.6), a town of Crete, which from its mention by Polybius (l. c.), and from a coin with the epigraph KEPAITAN, and presenting the same typeas those of Polyrrhenia, has been inferred to have been in the neighbourhood of that town. (Eckhel, vol. 2. p. 306; Hoeck, Kreta, vol. 1. p. 392.)
