Corn?!?!?!?!? I thought that was brought over from the New World. Can someone confirm this?

In older English usage, "corn" meant any kind of grain. Most often wheat, but sometimes other grains, and sometimes non-food items of about the same size and shape as a grain of wheat. This usage was perhaps still common at the time of the 1911 encyclopedia (though i think it remained in use longer in England than North America). I think this usage is now almost dead, except that classical scholars seem to use it still. In this case we can be sure that one of the old-world grain crops is meant. Most likely some kind of wheat, but perhaps barley, millet, rye, or one of the older grain crops that is no longer grown.

The strong Phoenician sympathies bit can be interpreted by the existence of non greek population(eteocypriots), as documented by bilingual inscriptions in the cypriot syllabary found in Amathus.
