PISYE
(Pisiköy) Turkey.
An old Carian village 9 km W-SW of Mugla. It was incorporated in the
Rhodian Peraea before 200 B.C., about which time it was
“recovered” from Philip V by the Rhodian general Nikagoras (
SIG 586; of.
Livy 33.18). In the Peraea it was
the center of a koinon which included Pladasa. The site
is proved not only by the survival of the name, but also
by an inscription. About 1.6 km NE of Pisiköy are some
traces of a small theater and many ancient blocks, some
inscribed; to the S is a low hill which seems to have
formed the acropolis.
