Mount Cragus

[1][2] Strabo (p. 665), whose description proceeds from west to east, after the promontory Telmissus, mentions Anticragus, on which is Carmylessus, and then Cragus, which has eight summits (or he may mean capes), and a city of the same name.

There are coins of the town Cragus of the Roman imperial period, with the epigraph Λυκιων Κρ.

The range of Anticragus and Cragus is represented in the map in Spratt and Forbes[3] as running south from the neighbourhood of Telmissus, and forming the western boundary of the lower basin of the river Xanthus.

In Francis Beaufort's map of the coast of Karamania, the Anticragus is marked 6000 feet high.

Beaufort's examination of this coast began at Yediburun (Yedy-Booroon), which means "the Seven Capes", a knot of high and rugged mountains that appear to have been the ancient Mount Cragus of Lycia.

The side towards the sea is so steep, that from this lofty summit the waves are seen breaking white against the base of this precipitous mountain mass.
