YLLARIMA (Ancient city) TURKEY
Site in Caria, near the villages of Mesevle and Kapraklar, 20 km S
of Bozdogan. The identity of the site, and the existence of the city at least
as early as the 3d c. B.C., are proved by an inscription found in 1934. Hyllarima
came under Rhodian domination between 189 and 167 B.C., and even after that time
the inscriptions continue to show evidence of Rhodian influence. The city had
in its territory a number of isolated rural sanctuaries, of which the most notable
is that of Zeus Hyllos. The coinage is of Imperial date. The extant ruins are
considerable, including an agora, a theater, and a synagogue.
