ALTINSIVRISI
(“Euthena”) Turkey.
A conspicuous peak in Caria, 9 km N of Marmaris, where the
remains are probably those of a Peraean deme of Rhodes
attached to the city of Kamiros which seems to be mentioned (the MS readings vary greatly) by Mela (1.84)
and Pliny (
HN 5.107), who establish the approximate
location. On the summit of the peak is a walled citadel
with a small fort at either end, and on the steep slope
of the hill are the closely packed ruins of a considerable
town, built on terraces. In the village of Ovacik at the
foot of the hill was found an epitaph of a Euthenite.
