| Location: It is located on the Becin rocks; 5 km south of the Milas District of the Mugla Province [Bean 2000:16-17]. The city was founded on a rocky land at the skirts of the Sodra mountain; and then enlarged toward the plain over time [Akarca 1954:76]. |
| Geography and Environment: The city was founded among four hills to the east of a 560 m high mountain and on a plain ground stretching in front of this mountain. The internal plain surrounded by mountains has an altitude of approximately 48 m; which might have facilitated the defense of the city [Akarca 1971:29-30]. |
