Passanda
Passanda (Ancient Greek: Πάσσανδα) or Pasanda (Πάσανδα) was a town of ancient Caria. It was a member of the Delian League since it appears in tribute records of Athens between the years 450/49 and 421/0 BCE, paying a phoros of 3000 drachmae.[1] At least during part of the Hellenistic period it belonged to the territory of Kaunos. Passanda is also mentioned by Stephanus of Byzantium and by the Stadiasmus.[1] The latter places it at a distance of thirty stadia from Kaunos.[2]
Its site is located near Gökbel, in Ortaca district, Muğla Province, Turkey.[3] [4]
