Massicytes, Massycites, or Massicytus (Massikutos), a mountain range traversing
western Lycia from north to south, issuing in the north, near Nysa, from Mount
Taurus, and running almost parallel to the river Xanthus, though in the south
it turns a little to the east. (Ptol. v. 3. § 1; Plin. v. 28; Quint. Smyrn. iii.
232.) .
Siderus (Siderous), according to Scylax (p. 39) a promontory and a
port-town on the coast of Lycia. The same place seems to be meant in Stephanus
B. (s. v. Sidarous), when he calls Sidarus a town and harbour. Col. Leake (Asia
Minor, p. 189) has shown that the town of Siderus is in all probability no other
than Olympus, on the south of Phaselis.
