Refs. to Cyprus in Pindar

Nem. IV. 46 "Οἰνώνᾳ τε καὶ Κύπρῳ ἔνθα Τεῦκρος ἀπάρχει ὁ Τελαμονιάδας· ἀτὰρ Αἴας Σαλαμῖν' ἔχει πατρῴαν "

Weave out the web of lovely song "in honor of Oenone and of Cyprus where Teucer son of Telamon reigneth afar while Aias still holdeth the Salamis of his fathers"

Nem. VIII. 18 "Ὄλβος ἀνθρώποισι παρμονώτερος ὅσπερ καὶ Κινύραν ἔβρισε ποντίᾳ ἔν ποτε Κύπρῳ "even such prosperity as in olden days loaded Cinyras with wealth in sea-girt Cyprus."

κελαδέοντι μὲν ἀμφὶ Κινύραν πολλάκις φᾶμαι Κυπρίων, τὸν ὁ χρυσοχαῖτα προφρόνως ἐφίλασ' Ἀπόλλων ἱερέα κτίλον Ἀφροδίτας

"Full oft do the praises of the men of Cyprus echo the name of Cinyras, Aphrodite's priestly minion, who was gladly loved by golden-haired Apollo"
