Lyrna

Lyrnai or Lyrna (Ancient Greek: Λύρναι) was an inland town of ancient Lycia, inhabited during Hellenistic times.[1] Its name does not occur among ancient authors, but known from epigraphic evidence. Per the Stadiasmus Patarensis Lyrnai was in the territory of Octapolis and the destination of a road from Calynda.[2]

Its site is unlocated, but is hypothesized to be near Çukurhisar in Asiatic Turkey.[1][3]
