I am of course not a classical philologist, but I would say that most people don’t know about the commonest pronunciation (ky-tn) and some might be annoyed whichever you choose. It’s probably more important to pick one and stick with it.

Monks Erased an Archimedes Manuscript, and Science May Have Lost Centuries
