Speculations on the Name Mastaura

Abstract

The name of the town Mastaura may have had its origin in the Lydian language. The village Mastavra in Mysia could stem from the Lydians too, and Mastaura, attested as the seat of a Bishop in Lycia, could be so too, but only if it was situated in the Kabalis, which is very uncertain. The Western Anatolian personal name Masturi, documented about 1200 years earlier, may be connected with the toponym.

Abstract

Bu makalede, bir yerleşim adı olan Mastaura’nın aslen Lydia dili ile bağlantılı olabileceği belirtilmektedir. Mysia’daki bir köy adı olan diğer bir Mastaura’nın kökeni de Lydialılara dayanmış olabilir. Lykia’da piskoposluk merkezi olarak görünen başka bir Mastaura için de durum böyle olabilir, bununla birlikte bu, ancak bu yerleşimin Kabalis’te yer almış olmasıyla mümkündür, fakat bu da ol­dukça belirsizdir. Yak. 1200 yıl önce belgelenmiş bir Batı Anadolu şahıs ismi olan Masturi’nin bu yerin ismiyle bir bağlantısı olabilir.
