Town of ancient Caria
Phoenix or Phoinix ( Ancient Greek: Φοῖνιξ) was a town of ancient Caria, near the mountain of the same name on the southern branch of the Bozburun Peninsula. [1] It may be the same as the town called Phoenice or Phoinike (Φοινίκη) by Stephanus of Byzantium. [2] [3]
It belonged to the Rhodian Peraea. [4]
Its site is located near Fenaket in Asiatic Turkey. [1] [5] Archaeology has uncovered numerous inscriptions. [3]
