The city surrendered to Alexander the Great in 334 BC and lived under Persian rule from 223-212 BC. After the Seljuk sultan Alaaddin Keykubat conquered the region in 1226, Erimna came under Seljuk rule.

During the Seljuk period, the caravan routes connecting Konya to the Mediterranean Sea passed through Ormana. The "Tol Inn", which was built on this road and is now in ruins in Eynif, belongs to this period.[citation needed]
Remains of the Byzantine period are found in Ormana and Gödene, albeit to a lesser extent. The inscription written in Hellenic in Çataloluk and the cut marbles on the vineyard and orchard walls are the remains of that period.

It is understood that Erimna, which had been a city and a state since the early ages, collapsed and disappeared like other cities in the region, and was later re-established during the Ottoman period, and that its people came from Oghuz Turkish tribes.
