SYLLIUM
SYLLIUM (
Σύλλιον), a fortified town of Pamphylia, situated on a lofty height between Aspendus and Side, and between the rivers Eurymedon and Cestrus, at a distance of 40 stadia from the coast. (
Strab. xiv. p.667; Arrian,
Arr. Anab. 1.25;
Scylax, p. 40;
Ptol. 5.5.1; Hieroel. p. 679;
Plb. 22.17;
Steph. B. sub voce mentions it under the name
Σύλειον, while in other passages it is called
Σύλαιον, Σύλλον, and
Σίλονον.) Sir C. Fellows (
Asia Minor, p. 200) thinks that the remains of a Greek town which he found in a wood on the side of a rocky hill near
Bolcascooe belong to the ancient Syllium; but from his description; they do not appear to exist on a lofty height.
