Sinda ( Ancient Greek: Σίνδα) was an ancient town mentioned to have been situated on the western frontier of ancient Pisidia, in the neighbourhood of Cibyra and the river Caularis. [1] Stephanus of Byzantium, [2] who spoke of a Sindia as a town of Lycia, was thought to have alluded to the same place. [3] Some writers have confounded Sinda with Isionda, which is the more surprising, as Livy mentions the two as different towns in the same chapter; [4] modern scholars treat them as separate places. [5]
Its site is located near Gölhisar in Asiatic Turkey. [6] [5]
