Araxa
City of ancient Lycia
Araxa (Ancient Greek: Ἄραξα) was a city of ancient Lycia, according to Alexander Polyhistor, in the second book of his Lyciaca.[1][2] Ptolemy places it near Sidyma. It is located at place called Ören, near Fethiye, on the upper portion of the Xanthus River.[3]
An inscription in honour of a local citizen, Orthagoras, provides the only details of its history in the 2nd century B.C.[4]
