Modern Description: An old Carian village 9 km W-SW of Mugla. It was incorporated in the Rhodian Peraea before 200 B.C., about which time it was 'recovered'; from Philip V by the Rhodian general Nikagoras (SIG 586; of. Livy 33.18). In the Peraea it was the center of a koinon which included Pladasa. The site is proved not only by the survival of the name, but also by an inscription. About 1.6 km NE of Pisikoy are some traces of a small theater and many ancient blocks, some inscribed; to the S is a low hill which seems to have formed the acropolis. (G. E. BEAN)
