Abstract (EN)

Kibyratis, which was called Kabalis in early period, is a significant region which combines four different regions, Karia, Lykia, Pisidia and Phrygia. Even if it was roughly surrounded by Pisidia on the east, Milyas on the south, Phrygia on the north and Karia on the west, it's uneasy to specify its borders. It can be said that the borders of the region start near the Tefenni Plain and the borders of Olbasa on the east, the Acıpayam Plain on the north, Söğüt (Karalitis) Lake and the Elmalı Plateau on the south. In these mentioned region is mainly seen rock-cut reliefs of horse rider gods with horses such as Kakasbos, Heracles, Dioskurides, and Goddess. Out of those, the rock-cut reliefs of Mother Goddess, Theoi Dikaioi can be seen. These reliefs are mostly found in rural area. Furthermore, sanctuaries can be seen in this region, in which one can see rock-cut reliefs on monobloc rocks. Although there are few arguments about some of the rock-cut reliefs' iconography, some were not even identified clearly.
