ΣΥΡΝΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Town in Caria on the Loryma peninsula SW of Marmaris. Founded, according
to the legend (Steph. Byz. s.v.), by Podaleirios son of Asklepios and named after
his wife Syrna. The site was determined in 1948 by a decree of the Syrnians, found
near Bayir, recording a donation for the celebration of sacrifices in the precinct
of Asklepios. An Asklepieion at Bayir was previously known from another inscription
listing contributions to some building connected with it. Both inscriptions date
from the 2d c. B.C. when Syrna was included in the Rhodian Peraea, though not
actually a deme. The ruins are scanty, almost entirely isolated ancient stones;
the site of the Asklepieion has not been located. The former identification of
Bayir with the deme of Hygassos on the strength of an epitaph of husband and wife,
both Hygassians, found there, is now superseded.
