GORTINA, a City formerly of great note in the Isle of Crete, fifteen miles from Mount Ida. The Roman Senate wrote to this City in favour of the Hebrews, in the year of the World 3865, before Jesus Christ 135, before the Vulgar Æra 139. Gortina at that time was independant, and in alliance with the Romans.
