  • (Transated) Small Lycian settlement in the Asartaş locality, the acropolis rock is enclosed on the east, west, and north by a Hellenistic defensive wall (polygonal masonry). The eastern rock outcrop features a Late Classical rock-cut tomb with a façade—belonging to a dynast—that includes two Greek inscriptions and a funerary banquet relief ('Topal Gavur'); the western rock outcrop contains a rock-cut tomb with a façade bearing a Lycian inscription, the easternmost indigenous inscription of Lycia found to date. Ten buildings (dynast's residence) are located on the acropolis.  1
