It lay outside the north-western limits of the ancient province of Lycia and was the chief city of an independent state known as Cibyratis. Location The site is identified by its inscriptions. The Cibyratic plain is about 300 m above sea level.

Lycia
Lycia (Lycian language, Lycian: 𐊗𐊕𐊐𐊎𐊆𐊖 ''Trm̃mis''; el, Λυκία, ; tr, Likya) was a state or nationality that flourished in Anatolia from 15–14th centuries BC (as Lukka) to 546 BC. It bordered the Mediterranean Sea in what is today the Provinces of Turkey, provinces of Antalya Province, Antalya and Muğla Province, Muğla in Turkey as well some inland parts of Burdur Province. The state was known to history from the Late Bronze Age records of ancient Egypt and the Hittite Empire. Lycia was populated by speakers of the Luwian language group. Written records began to be inscribed in stone in the Lycian language (a later form of Luwian) after Lycia's involuntary incorporation into the Achaemenid Empire in the Iron Age. At that time (546 BC) the Luwian speakers were decimated, and Lycia received an influx of Persian speakers. Ancient sources seem to indicate that an older name of the region was Alope ( grc, Ἀλόπη}, ). The many cities in Ly ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Milyas
Milyas ( grc, Μιλυάς) was a mountainous country in ancient south-west Anatolia (modern Turkey). However, it is generally described as being mostly in the northern part of the successor kingdom of Lycia, as well as southern Pisidia, and part of eastern Phrygia. According to Herodotus, the boundaries of Milyas were never fixed. Its inhabitants used the endonym Milyae (Μιλύαι), or Milyans. However, the oldest known name for inhabitants of the area is '' Sólymoi'' (Σόλυμοι), Solymi and Solymians – names that are probably derived from the nearby Mount Solymus. L. Feldman suggested that the Solymoi originally spoke an unattested Semitic language (this opinion is not commonly supported), whereas the Milyan language was an Indo-European language. Toponymy Later the name Milyas was sometimes used to describe only as a part of Lycia. However, after the accession of the dynasty of the Seleucidae in Syria, the name Milyas was limited to the south-western part of Pis ...

Bubon (Lycia)
Bubon or Boubon ( grc, Βούβων) was a city of ancient Lycia noted by Stephanus of Byzantium; the ethnic name, he adds, ought to be Βουβώνιος, but it is Βουβωνεύς, for the Lycians rejoice in this form. The truth of this observation of Stephanus is proved by the inscription found on the spot: Βουβωνέων ἡ Βουλὴ καὶ ὁ Δῆμος. Bubon is located west of ancient Balbura, near Ibecik, as confirmed by modern scholars. The city stood on a hill side commanding the entrance to the pass over the mountains. Bubon is mentioned by Pliny, Ptolemy, and Hierocles. Pliny mentions a kind of chalk (creta) that was found about Bubon. Bubon, along with Balbura and Oenoanda formed the district of Cabalia. There is a small theatre built of sandstone and on the summit of the hill was the acropolis. Bishopric Bubon was a Christian bishopric, a suffragan of the metropolitan see of Myra, the capital of the Roman province of Lycia. The names of tw ...
