CITHARISTES a promontory in the south of Gallia, placed by Ptolemy (Ptol. 2.10) between Tauroentum ( Taurenti) and Olbia ( Eoubo); and the most southern point on this part of the coast. The promontory then is Cap Ciciernear Toulon. Walckenaer makes it Cap Cepetat the entrance of the great road of Toulon. Mela (2.5) mentions Citharistes, and apparently intends to make it a town or port. It must therefore be Citharista.
