ΛΕΥΚΟΦΡΥΣ (Αρχαία κωμόπολη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Leucophrys (Leukophrus), a town in Caria, apparently in the plain
of the Maeander, on the borders of a lake, whose water was hot and in constant
commotion. (Xenoph. Hell. iv. 8. § 17, iii. 2. § 19.) From the latter of the passages
here referred to, we learn that the town possessed a very revered sanctuary of
Artemis; hence surnamed Artemis Leucophryene or Leucophryne. (Paus. i. 26. § 4;
Strab. xiv. p. 647; Tac. Ann. iii. 62.) The poet Nicander spoke of Leucophrys
as a place distinguished for its fine roses. (Athen. xv. p. 683.)
