RHOETEUM (τὸ Ῥοίτειον or Ῥοίτιον ἄκρον), a promontory, or rather a rocky headland, running out in several points in Mysia or Troas, at the entrance of the Hellespont, north of Ilion; it contained a small town of the same name situated on an eminence. The place is very often mentioned by the ancients. (Hdt. 7.43; Scylax, p. 35 ; Strab. 13. p. 595; Steph. B. s. v.; Pomp. Mela, 1.18; Plin. Nat. 5.33; Thucyd. 4.52, 8.101; Apollon. 1.929; Tryphiod. 216; Verg. A. 6.595; Liv. 37.37.) The promontory is now called Intepeh, and the site of the ancient town is believed to be occupied by Paleo Castro, near the village of It-ghelmes. (Richter, Wallfahrten, p. 475; Leake, Asia Minor, p. 275.)
[L.S](τὸ Ῥοίτειον ἄκρον). Now Cape Intepeh or Barbieri; a promontory, or a strip of rocky coast, breaking into several promontories, in Mysia, on the Hellespont, near Aeantium, with a town of the same name.
