The block recording the destination of the
road from Sidyma on the Pataran monument
of roads is today lost. The destination was
restored as Kalaba(n/t)tia, which was identified
with the port of Sancaklı. This restoration
seems deficient or incorrect, since the distance
given from Sidyma to the lost destination is
ca. 4,5 km, while the actual distance between
Sidyma and Sancaklı Port is ca. 7–8 km. And
Kalabatia can fill only half of the lacuna. It is
emphasized that the theory concerning a siege
of Sidyma, which is deduced from this restoration,
cannot be justified. The evidence concerning
Kalabatia’s political status might indicate
an independence during the early empire
or even earlier. The author suggests that the ruins
in Bel, located ca. 4,5 km south of Sidyma,
were probably the destination. The author also
questions if Kalabatia could be localized in Bel.
At the end is an appendix on Kragos.
