Rule of the Germiyān Oghullarï

The town of the interior of south-western Anatolia, Lādīq or Ladik, classical Laodicea, in the fourteenth century replaced by the nearby foundation of Toñuzlu/Deñizli, was a frontier post between the amirates of Menteshe and Germiyān. It had passed into Seljuq hands from the Byzantines in 657/1259, and in the following century a local Turkmen beg, Muḥammad, made it the centre of a small beylik. Coming under the control of the Germiyān Oghullarï, it was granted to their kinsman Inanj Beg and held by his descendants for two more generations until the Germiyān Oghullarï took it into their own hands again shortly before their own principality was annexed by the Ottomans in 792/1390.
