The Elmalı Museum's 2011 discovery of a rock-cut relief and many broken stelai near the fountain known as Sarı Mehmet Çeşmesi, in the Yukarıovacık Yayla (plateau), on the western slopes of Temrencik Tepe, on the border between the territory of ancient Choma and Oinoanda, points to the existence of a spring sanctuary of Leto, her children Apollo and Artemis (the Letoids), and perhaps also 9 nymphs.
