Ialysus

Ialysus or Ialysos, also Ialyssus or Ialyssos, or Ielyssus or Ielyssos, was a city of ancient Rhodes [1]. Pliny the Elder did not consider it as an independent place at all, but imagined that Ialysus was the ancient name of Rhodes [1]. Orychoma, the citadel, was situated above Ialysus, and still existed in the time of Strabo [1]. The city is mentioned by numerous ancient authors, including Pindar, Herodotus, Thucydides, Ptolemy, Stephanus of Byzantium, Ovid, and Pomponius Mela, Dionysius Periegetes, and appears in the Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax [1].
