Sinda (Ancient Greek:Σίνδα) was an ancient town mentioned[where?] to have been situated on the western frontier ofancient Pisidia, in the neighbourhood ofCibyra and the river Caularis.[1]Stephanus of Byzantium,[2] who spoke of aSindia as a town ofLycia, was thought to have alluded to the same place.[3] Some writers have confounded Sinda withIsionda, which is the more surprising, asLivy mentions the two as different towns in the same chapter;[4] modern scholars treat them as separate places.[5]
Its site is located nearGölhisar inAsiatic Turkey.[6][5]
