Abstract :The block recording the destination of the road from Sidyma on the Pataran monument of roads is today lost. The destination was restored as Kalabainsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n/t);tia, which was identified with the port of Sancaklı. This restoration seems deficient or incorrect, since the distance given from Sidyma to the lost destination is ca. 4,5 km, while the actual distance between Sidyma and Sancaklı Port is ca. 7–8 km. And Kalabatia can fill only half of the lacuna. It is emphasized that the theory concerning a siege of Sidyma, which is deduced from this restoration, cannot be justified. The evidence concerning Kalabatia’s political status might indicate an independence during the early empire or even earlier. The author suggests that the ruins in Bel, located ca. 4,5 km south of Sidyma, were probably the destination. The author also questions if Kalabatia could be localized in Bel. At the end is an appendix on Kragos.
Keywords : Sidyma, Kalabatia, Sancaklı, Bel, Apollo, Oracle
