EFTHINA (Ancient city) TURKEY
Euthenae (Euthenai: Eth. Euthenaios and Eutheneus), a town of Caria,
on the Ceramicus Sinus. (Plin. v. 29; Steph. B. s. v.)
A conspicuous peak in Caria, 9 km N of Marmaris, where the remains are probably those of a Peraean deme of Rhodes attached to the city of Kamiros which seems to be mentioned (the MS readings vary greatly) by Mela (1.84) and Pliny (HN 5.107), who establish the approximate location. On the summit of the peak is a walled citadel with a small fort at either end, and on the steep slope of the hill are the closely packed ruins of a considerable town, built on terraces. In the village of Ovacik at the foot of the hill was found an epitaph of a Euthenite.
