Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography/Attelebusa

by William Smith

ATTELEBUSA, a small island in the Lycian sea, mentioned by Pliny (v. 31 ) and by Ptolemy. Beaufort (Karamania, p. 117) identifies it with the islet Rashat, which is separated from the Lycian shore by a narrow channel. Adalia is on the opposite side of the bay which the coast forms here. [ G. L. ]
