Telmessus (?). There are said to have been two towns of this name,
one in Caria, and another, a more important city, in Lycia. The Carian
town, about sixty stadia from Halicarnassus, may have been the seat of
a famous oracle of Apollo (cf. Herod., i. 78 ; Cic. De divin., i. 41 ; Leake,
Num. Ilell. As., p. 100), and to it Sestini {Lett. di Cont., iii. 81, and ix.
Pl. IV. 5) has attributed the following coin. It is, however, extremely
doubtful, as Borrell has pointed out Citron., x. 87), whether this
piece ought not to be assigned to Telmessus in Lycia. It belongs to the
third century B. c.
Head of Helios, radiate, facing, as on TEAMHZfZEClN] Apollo seated on
coins of Rhodes. (Brit. Mus.) omphalos, holding arrow . . JE -6
Termera, a small place on the promontory between Halicarnassus and
Myndus. Herodotus (v. 37) informs us that Termera was governed in
the reign of Darius Hystaspis, B. 0. 521-485, by a tyrant named Tymnes.
It is not improbable that the following coin may have been struck by a
grandson of this Tymnes, who may have been ruling in Termera early in
the fifth century B.C.
