Side ( Ancient Greek: Σίδη). also known as Sibde (Σίβδη), was a town of ancient Caria. According to Pliny the Elder, Alexander the Great united in Halicarnassus six cities by synoecism, including Side, next to Theangela, Medmasa, Uranium, Pedasa and Telmissus. [1] Strabo, however, points out that this synoecism would have been carried out earlier, during the reign of Mausolus ( c. 370 BCE). [2]
Its site is tentatively located near Alazeytin, Turkey. [3]
