The ancient city of Kelbessos is located in the Alımpınarı neighbourhood of Konyaaltı District of Antalya Province, approximately at the 34th km of the Saklıkent road. The remains of sarcophagi belonging to the city can be seen close to Ahırtaş. It is located on the hill called Yelli Pear Ridge. Sarı Göynük Strait is located to the south and Konyaaltı - Saklikent road to the north. The settlement overlooking the Gulf of Antalya was first discovered by R. Paribeni and P. Romanelli in 1913. The inscriptions unearthed here were published by the Italian team.

They were later revised by R. Heberdey. Since the inscriptions from the site had not been analysed and evaluated within the framework of an epigraphic project, an intensive epigraphic study was carried out in 1996. Since 1989, twenty-one new inscriptions have been discovered by B. İplikçioğlu (Marmara University), G. Çelgin (Istanbul University), the author and his assistants within the scope of the 'Epigraphy - Historical Geography Survey Project ofthe Ancient City of Termessos and its Sovereignty Area' carried out under the auspices of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. In addition, six inscriptions previously published by Paribeni and Romanelli and later revised and corrected by Heberdey were re-evaluated.
