Suagela

SUA´GELA (Σουάγελα), a town of Caria, in which was shown the tomb of Car, the ancestor of all the Carians; the place was in fact believed to have received its name from this circumstance, for in Carian σοῦα signified a tomb, and γέλας a king. (Steph. B. s. v.) Strabo, who calls the place Syangela (13. p. 611), states that this town and Myndus were preserved at the time when Mausolus united six other towns to form Halicarnassus.
