Kormi
Near Karabük, close to the E bank of the Alagirçayi, about 17 km N of Kumluca. The name, of uncertain termination as inscribed, appears to be Greek. However, the city is not mentioned by any ancient writer, and our only knowledge of it comes from the few inscriptions, of which the earliest date to the 1st c. B.C. As a junior member of a sympolity headed by Akalissos, Kormi struck no coins in her own name.
The site is small, comprising an acropolis hill with a ring wall, inside which are a few inscribed bases and other stones; the inscriptions include a Sullan senatus consultum and an honorific decree for a citizen who did good service to the Lycian League apparently at the time of the war with Zenicetes. The usually numerous Lycian sarcophagi are lacking.
