About
Sybrita, or Subrita or Soubrita, or Subritus or Soubritos, or Sibyrtus or Sibyrtos, was a town of ancient Crete, 8 M. P. from Eleutherna, 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. 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. The site of Sybrita is located near modern Thronos.
