Telendos
Telendos, i, f.,
- an island near Lycia, Plin. 5, 31, 35, § 131.
Telendŏs, ī, f. , île voisine de la Cilicie : Plin. 5, 131.
TELENDOS The Dodecanese, Greece.
A small island located to the W of Kalymnos. The narrow strait between the two islands must have served as anchorage in ancient times. A tentative theory suggests that the deme-center of Panormos, a deme of Kalymnos, lay on Telendos, but we lack evidence. Ruins of a Hellenic fort have been observed in the N part of the island. On the E side there is a badly preserved rock-cut theater. Other ruins of Roman and later times are evident throughout Telendos.
