ORTHOSIA (Ancient city) TURKEY
A town of Caria, not far from Aatbanda, on the left bank of the Maeander,
and apparently on or near a hill of the same name (Strab. xiv. p. 650; Plin. xxxvii.
25). Near this town the Rhodians gained a victory over the Carians (Polyb. xxx.
5; Liv. xlv. 25; corp. Ptol. v. 2. § 19; Plin. v. 29, xxxvii. 9, 25; Hierocl.
688). The ancient remains near Karpusli probably mark the site of Orthosia (Leake,
Asia Minor, p. 234); though others, regarding them as belonging to Alabanda, identify
it with Dsheni-sheer.
A city of Caria, on the Maeander, where the Rhodians defeated the Carians, B.C. 167.
It is located within the borders of Donduran Village in Yenipazar District of Aydin.
