"κάστανα" meaning in Ancient Greek

See κάστανα in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kás.ta.na/, /ˈkas.ta.na/, /ˈkas.ta.na/, /kás.ta.na/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈkas.ta.na/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈkas.ta.na/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈkas.ta.na/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈkas.ta.na/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Borrowed from a substrate, either Pre-Greek or Anatolian. Compare also Old Armenian կասկ (kask, “chestnut”) and Albanian thanë (“cranberry shrub; cornel”) (< Proto-Albanian *tsàna), which appear to be from the same Mediterranean substrate. Has been claimed by ancient writers to derive from Καστανέα (Kastanéa), a location in Magnesia, Thessalia, but the location itself is most likely named after the tree. Other theories link the word as potentially from Doric Greek κάστον (káston, “wood”).

Has been claimed by ancient writers to derive from Καστανέα (Kastanéa), a location in Magnesia, Thessalia, but the location itself is most likely named after the tree.\nOther theories link the word as potentially from Doric Greek κάστον (káston, “wood”).",
