Ancient port o Sicily used to be spelled Lycata, which gives away the 'Lucati' country - 'land of Luki'. Lukians were the inhabitants of Kartvelian Lukia in Anatolia.
Another name the port was know under is Limpiadum, which is, as it was explained in Olympos entry, 'Lubiadum' or 'Lubiati', 'land of Lubes'.
But if we interpret the third port's name - Φιντίας - as Φυντίας, we'll come very close to 'phuneti' - 'land of phuni', with 'phuni' being 'Phunians' (пунийцы), which is 'Phoenicians' or Carthagenians, who invaded Sicily b.C.
