SINDA

SINDA (Σίνδα: Eth. Sindensis), a town which seems to have been situated on the western frontier of Pisidia, in the neighbourhood of Cibyra and the river Caularis (Liv. 38.15; Strabo xii. p.570, xiii. p. 630). Stephanus B. (s.v. Σινδία), who speaks of Sindia as a town of Lycia, is probably alluding to the same place. (Comp. Hierocl. p. 680; Polyb. Excerpt. de Leg. 30.) Some writers have confounded Sinda with Isionda, which is the more surprising, as Livy mentions the two as different towns in the same chapter. (Leake, Asia Minor, p. 152.)
