Antiphellus
Encyclopedia
Antiphellus 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 (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 (http://books.google.com/books?id=N4s2AAAAMAAJ|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
