Abstract

In this article, the first inscription is presented that without any doubt was originally found at the archaeological site of İnlice (Muğla/Fethiye). The text from late Hellenistic/early imperial times hints at the place belonging to the Rhodian Peraia at the time of its creation. The fact that Daidala is left out in the Stadiasmus from Patara from AD 45 is explained by Daidala belonging to the state of Rhodes and thus not included in the imperial building program.

İmparatorluk Dönemi’nde Batı Lykia’da Daidala: Yeni Bir Yazıt ve Tarihi Gözlemler

Abstract

Bu makalede sunulan yazıt şüphesiz İnlice (Muğla/Fethiye) arkeoloji alanında bulunmuş olan ilk yazıttır. Geç Helenistik Dönem ya da Erken İmparatorluk Çağı’na ait olan yazıt, bulunduğu yerin Rodos Peraiası’na ait olduğuna ve Peraia’nın kurulduğu döneme işaret etmektedir. Böylece İnlice’nin antik Daidala kentiyle özdeşleştirilmesinin doğru olduğunu onaylamaktadır. Daidala’nın İ.S. 46 yılında Patara’da dikilen Stadiasmus’ta anılmaması, yerleşimin Rodos Devleti toprakları içerisinde kalması ve bu nedenle de yol programına dahil edilmemiş olması ile açıklanmaktadır.
