It had an acropolis.〔According to display number 2 in exhibit room number 2 at the Larnaca District Museum〕 The "mound gate" in the city wall, was located in the vicinity northwest of the Phaneromeni Tomb.〔According to text on a map that is part of one of the signs at the entrance of the Kition-Kathari site.〕

"In an Egyptian inscription dating to the period of Pharaoh Ramses III (1198-1116 BC) found in the temple of Medinet Habu amongst the names of other Cypriot cities, that of Kathian is considered to refer to Kition", according to P. Flourentzos (author and () Curator of Archaeological Museums and Surveys).
That the settlements name might once have been Khardihadast, was suggested by E. Gjerstad—and "not accepted by other scholars studying the Phoenician period, such as Masson, Sznycer and Hill".〔
