Sillyon (Greek: Σύλλιον), Stephanus of Byzantium called it Σύλειον, Σύλαιον, Σύλλον and Σίλονον[1] in Byzantine times Syllaeum or Syllaion (Συλλαῖον), was an important fortress and city near Attaleia in Pamphylia, on the southern coast of modern Turkey. The native Greco-Pamphylian form was Selywiys, possibly deriving from the original Hittite Sallawassi. Its modern Turkish names are Yanköy Hisarı or Asar Köy.[2]
