FASILIS (Ancient city) TURKEY
Solyma (ta Soluma), a high mountain near Phaselis in Lycia. (Strab.
xiv. p. 666.) As the mountain is not mentioned by any other writer, it is probably
only another name for the Chimaera Mons, the Olympus, or the mountains of the
Solymi, mentioned by Homer. (Od. v. 283.) In the Stadiasmus it is simply called
the oros mega: it extends about 70 miles northward from Phaselis, and its highest
point, now called Taghtalu, rises immediately above the ruins of Phaselis, which
exactly corresponds with the statement of Strabo. (Leake, Asia Minor, p. 189.)
