Denizli, Turkey Laodicea ad Lycum, Lādhīq ‘(Town of) Flowing Waters’. Lying close to the Çürüksu River, Denizli assumed the mantle of Laodicea ad Lycum ‘Laodicea‐on‐Lykos’, whose ruins stand some 4 miles (6 km) away, when it was abandoned in the 12th century. According to Ibn Battutah (1304–68/9), the famous Arab traveller, who visited Lādhīq, its alternative name was Dun Ghuzluh ‘Town of the Swine’.
