ALINDA
ALINDA (
Ἄλινδα: Eth.
Ἀλινδεύς), a city of Caria, which was surrendered to Alexander by Ada, queen of Caria.
It was one of the strongest places in Caria (Arrian.
Anab. 1.23; Strab. p. 657). Its position seems to be properly fixed by Fellows (
Discoveries in Lycia, p. 58) at
Demmeergee-derasy, between Arab Hissa and Karpuslee, on a steep rock.
He found no inscriptions, but out of twenty copper coins obtained here five had the epigraph Alinda.
