Chios (Caria)

Chios (Ancient Greek: Χίος) was a town of ancient Caria.[1] It was a member of the Delian League since it appears in tribute records of Athens in 454/3, 448/7, and 447/6 BCE, paying a phoros of 2000 drachmae.[2] It is also mentioned in a tribute decree of Athens dated to 425/4 BCE.[2]

Its site is unlocated but on the Datça peninsula.[3]
