Thanks, Duncan, so it was this typical Turkish thing with the added suffix.
I got this meanwhile:
Quote:Olbia (’????) Ps.-Skylax 100; Arist. De ventis 973a5;
Strabo 14.4.1; Steph. Byz. 346.11 (?????? ?#??? ?????
>?????? ’?????). The urban remains are few and undated
(Bean (1979) 84–86). Barr. 65, C
Seems like everything points to: Bean, G. E. (1968), Turkey's Southern Shore: an Archaeological Guide, London and (1978), Lycian Turkey: an Archaeological Guide, London.

False alarm. The bridge is today partly submerged, but it seems clear that the acuteness of the arch is more perceived than real and that the arch is, if at all, only slightly flattened: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arapsu_Bridge (go to "External links" for more images)
