SIDE (Ancient city) TURKEY
Recorded by Stephanos Byzantios s.v. as a city of Caria and presumably
identical with the Side listed by Pliny (HN 5.107) among the six Lelegian towns
incorporated by Alexander (but really by Mausolos) in Halikarnassos. No other
mention occurs. It is not improbably to be identified with the site on Karadag
in the Myndos peninsula, where Telmissos had been placed. Here are two Lelegian
settlements close together, with walls of dry rubble masonry, numerous houses,
and sherds of 5th-4th c. date, but nothing later.
