Location
The exact site of Euaza is still unknownCayster River valley. Some speculation holds it in the area of Dioshieron and Kolophốn,[4] and was probably in the region of Mount Tmolus.
Zgusta,[5] argues it was located at the city of Algizea in Caria, but being outside the provence of Asia makes this identification problematic.
