Corycus ( Ancient Greek: Κώρυκος, romanized: Korykos) was a Greek town in ancient Pamphylia, near Attaleia. [1] Strabo mention that Attalus II Philadelphus, who had also founded the city of Attaleia, sent a colony to Corycus and surrounded it with a greater circuit-wall. [2]
The location of the town has not been determined with certainty.
