When did the Phoenicians establish a colony at Citium?

The Phoenicians had established settlements in Cyprus by the 9th century BCE, with Citium (also known as Kition) becoming their principal colony on the island.12

While the site of Citium features earlier remains from an Aegean colony dating to the Mycenaean Age (c. 1400–1100 BCE), the Phoenician presence is specifically noted as being established by the 9th century BCE. Modern scholars generally contend that the Phoenicians arrived at the site only after the Greeks had already become established there.312
