Some research shows that the ancient Greek settlement near Kerch was known
as Pantikapaîon/Pantikapaío and Panticapaeum (Latin) - added as Pantikapaio
to the city list.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panticapaeum

Sougdeia and Theodosia also added.

I belive this is ready to be committed now. Despite the controversy over the
form of Greek used, it is IMHO an improvement over the current version.

You are right. It seems the map I used was using the new name for the
city.The right name at that time was Chersonesus (latin) or Chersonisos
(greek).

I didn't know these cities. The greek names would be Bosporos (or maybe
Vosporos) Sougdeia, and Feodosia...
