Dictynnaeum

or Dictamnum Promontorium. A promontory on the northern coast of Crete, towards the northwest. This promontory, answering to the Psacum Promontorium of Ptolemy, forms the termination of a chain called Tityrus by Strabo. On its summit was placed a celebrated temple of the nymph Britomartis or Dictynna (Diod. Sic. v. 76). See Dictynna.
