Xenophon mentions Cotyora in Anabasis 5.5.3, where he calls it a Greek city. The immediately preceding passage about the Mossynoeci (Mossynoikoi) is very interesting--he calls them the most barbaric of all the peoples the Ten Thousand encountered and the furthest removed from Greek customs. Among other things, the Mossynoeci wanted to have sex in public with the courtesans accompanying the Greek army.

That must have seemed weird to any pederasts who were in his army.
