{{History of Cyprus}}

The ten city-kingdoms of Cyprus are listed in a 673–672 BC inscription attributed to Esarhaddon, who ruled the Neo-Assyrian Empire from 681 BC to 669 BC. These kingdoms were Greek, Greco-Phoenician, and Greco-Eteocypriot in origin.Sir Ernest Alfred Wallis Budge 1880, “The history of Esarhaddon (son of Sennacherib) king of Assyria” (The Names of the Twenty-two Kings, p. 104-108)
