Antiphellus

Antiphellus (Ancient Greek: Ἀντίφελλος) was an ancient town of Lycia, on the south coast, at the head of a bay. An inscription copied by Charles Fellows at this place, contains the ethnic name ΑΝΤΙΦΕΛΛΕΙΤΟΥ (Discoveries in Lycia, p. 186). The little theater of Antiphellus is complete, with the exception of the proscenium. Fellows gives a page of drawings of specimens of ends of sarcophagi, pediments, and doors of tombs. Strabo (p. 666) incorrectly places Antiphellus among the inland towns. Beaufort (Karamania, p. 13) gives the name of Vathy to the bay at the head of which Antiphellus stands, and he was the discoverer of this ancient site. There is a ground-plan of Antiphelius in Spratt's Lycia. There are coins of Antiphellus of the imperial period, with the epigraph Ἀντιφελλειτων. The site of Antiphellus is now in the municipality of Kaş, Turkey.
