PHASELIS is mentioned 1Ma 15:23 as a city to which the Romans in b.c. 139 sent letters on behalf of the Jews. It was at the E. extremity of the coast of Lycia, a Dorian colony which apparently always maintained its independence of the rest of Lycia. Its early importance was due to its position in the trade between the Ægsean and the Levant. Its alliance with Cilician pirates caused it to be captured by Servilius Isauricus in b.c. 77, and it seems never to have recovered its former importance. It was a bishopric in the Byzantine period.
