'''Olbia''' ({{langx|grc|Ὀλβία}}) was the westernmost town on the coast of [[ancient Pamphylia]], which some ancient writers place in [[ancient Lycia|Lycia]].{{Cite Strabo|xiv. pp. 666, ''et seq.''}}{{cite Pliny|5.26}} [[Ptolemy]] places it between [[Phaselis]] and [[Attaleia]].{{Cite Ptolemy|5.5.2}} [[Stephanus of Byzantium]] blames [[Philo]] for ascribing this town to Pamphylia, since, as he asserts, it was situated in the territory of the [[Solymi]], and its real name was ''Olba''; but the critic is here himself at fault, confounding Olbia with the [[ancient Pisidia|Pisidian]] [[Olbasa]]. [[Strabo]] describes Olbia as a strong fortress, and its inhabitants colonised the Lycian town of [[Cadrema]]. |
