| Additional information |
Khinakha remains one of the least-documented dynasts in the Lycian sequence — no city, no building inscription, no Greek literary source names him directly. His coins constitute the primary evidence that he governed at all. The eastern Lycian attribution rests largely on stylistic comparison with neighboring dynastic issues rather than any findspot consensus, and the mint location remains genuinely unresolved in the scholarship.
