The rock-cut tomb near Fokaia dates back to the end of the IV vcentury BC. It is 4,5 m high two-storey structure with the sarcophagus on the top indicates the Lycian tradition however the entrance facade is rather Lydian pattern. The stepps between the storeys indicate Achemenid custom. The monument may have been erected to memorize the local ruler during the Persian domiation of the region in the V-IV century BC1.
