SIBDA
or Side Turkey.
Recorded by Stephanos
Byzantios s.v. as a city of Caria and presumably
identical with the Side listed by Pliny (
HN 5.107) among
the six Lelegian towns incorporated by Alexander (but
really by Mausolos) in Halikarnassos. No other mention
occurs. It is not improbably to be identified with the
site on Karadağ in the Myndos peninsula, where Telmissos had been placed. Here are two Lelegian settlements
close together, with walls of dry rubble masonry, numerous houses, and sherds of 5th-4th c. date, but nothing later.
