Editor's Note
This is most likely a dynastic-period settlement that lay within the territory of Kyaneai. The remains of the settlement are located 6 km northwest of Kyaneai, on the mountain range separating the small Sarılar plain to the southeast from the large and fertile Kasaba plain to the northwest. Spratt and Forbes were the first to mention this settlement in written sources. Based on the name given by the local people, they identified it as Tüse. The ancient name of the settlement is unknown. According to the tomb inscriptions, Tüse was under the administration of Kyaneai in the Hellenistic period. Finds on the acropolis date back to the Archaic period.
