Tyberissus or Tyberissos, also Tyberisus or Tyberisos ( Ancient Greek: Τυβερισσός), was an inland town of ancient Lycia, near the ancient settlement of Teimiussa that functioned as its port. [1] The name is not attested in history, but is derived from epigraphic and other evidence. [1] This combination of harbor and inland location is the focus of archaeological exploration. [2] Among the finds are tombs with Lycian inscriptions. [3] Coins inscribed "ΤΥ" of typical Lycian type were probably minted here. [3]
Its site is located near the modern town of Tirmısın, Asiatic Turkey. [1] [4]
