History
Erymna or Orymna was a town in ancient Pamphylia or Lycia. The form "Orymna" is that given in the Synecdemus and the Notitiae Episcopatuum. and in the ecumenical councils, but inscriptions found on the site show that the inhabitants used the form with "E". Stephanus of Byzantium stated that the form used in the Lyciaca of Alexander Polyhistor was Erymnae. The modern name of the site is Ormana, reflecting the ancient name.
