However, after the accession of the dynasty of the Greek Seleucidae in Syria, the name Milyas was limited to the south-western part of Pisidia, bordering upon Lycia, that is, the territory extending from Termessus northward to the foot of Mount Cadmus.
[7] After the conquest of the Greek Antiochus the Great, the Romans gave the country to Eumenes,[8] though Pisidian princes still continue to be mentioned as its rulers.
[9] The name, which does not occur in the Homeric poems, probably belonged to the remnants of the Milyae, who had been driven into the mountains by invaders from Crete, known as the Termilae, who later referred to themselves as Lycians.
Important cities and towns in Milyas included Cibyra, Oenoanda, Balbura, and Bubon, which formed the Cibyratian tetrapolis.
Some authors also mention a town named Milyas, which must have been situated north of Termessus in Pisidia.
