Sybrita
Sybrita (Ancient Greek: Σύβριτα),[1] or Subrita or Soubrita (Σούβριτα),[2] or Subritus or Soubritos (Σούβριτος),[3] or Sibyrtus or Sibyrtos (Σίβυρτος),[4] was a town of ancient Crete, 8 M. P. from Eleutherna,[5] and famous for its numerous and beautiful silver coins, which, though some of them belong to a very early period, are fine specimens of a Cretan mint; the types are always connected with the worship of Dionysus or Hermes.[6]
It was the seat of a bishop; no longer a residential bishop, under the name Subrita it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[7]
The site of Sybrita is located near modern Thronos.[8][9]
