A “great city” in PHRYGIA under the administration of Amyntas, nephew of ALEXANDER I of MACEDON and son of a Persian notable (8.136.1). Its identification remains insecure, and no other ancient source mentions the city so named (to be distinguished from the ALABANDA IN CARIA). Stephen of Byzantium calls it “Alabastra” (Steph. Byz. s.v. Ἀλάβαστρα (A 185)) and Simon Hornblower (1982, 218 n. 2) proposes that it should be identified with Blaundus on the Lydian‐Phrygian border.
