Teichiussa

Teichiussa or Teichioussa (Ancient Greek: Τειχιοῦσσα and Τειχιόεσσα[1]) was a town of ancient Caria or of Ionia[2] in the territory of Miletus, and according to Thucydides, Athenaeus and Stephanus of Byzantium, a possession of the latter city.[3][4][5] Archestratus called it a village of Miletus.[5] It was a polis (city-state) and a member of the Delian League.[6] During the Peloponnesian War, the Spartans struck at Iasos from here.[7][2]

Its site is located near Kazıklı, Asiatic Turkey.[8][9]
