Patara Yol Anıtı’nda Myra bağlantılı üç tane yol bulunmaktadır. Bunlardan iki tanesi Kyaneai ve Limyra yollarıdır. Diğeri ise Myra çıkışlı olup hedefi okunamamış olan yoldur. Bu yolun hedefi için daha önce Arneai, Dereağzı (Mastaura), Trebendai önerilmiş olmakla birlikte, hiçbirisi de epigrafik ve coğrafi sorunları tam olarak çözememiştir. Yazarın Patara Yol Anıtı taşları üzerinde yakın dönemde yaptığı çalışmalar, fotogrametri teknikleri ve taşların eski estampajları aracılığıyla yaptığı incelemeler bu hedefin Andriake olduğunu sonucunu ortaya koymuştur. Hedefin Andriake olması, anıt üzerindeki yol listesi hakkındaki bilgilerimize yenilikler katmış ve yaklaşımlarımızda bazı düzenlemeler yapmamızı gerektirmiştir. Artık anıtta bir şehirden onun limanına giden bir yolun da verildiği ve yol listesindeki tüm yerleşimlerin bağımsız kentler olmadığı, ancak farklı bir statüde ise – Andriake için “liman” (ὁ λιμήν) kullanımında olduğu gibi – bu farkın verildiği anlaşılmıştır. Ayrıca C yüzü sat. 17’deki Phellos çıkışlı ve B yüzü sat. 11’deki Sidyma çıkışlı yollar gözden geçirilmiştir. Bunlardan ilki için hedefin “Kandyba üzerinden Neisa” olamayacağı fakat Phellos’tan bir yolun Antiphellos’a gidebileceği önerilmiş, ikincisi içinse yeni bir yaklaşım sağlanamamıştır.
There are three roads related to Myra in the Stadiasmos of Patara. Two of these are the roads of Kyaneai and Limyra. The other one is the road that is from Myra to a destination, which could not be read. Although Arneai, Dereağzı (Mastaura) and Trebendai have been suggested as the destination of this road, none of them could completely solve the epigraphic and geographical problems. The author’s recent studies on the stones of the Patara Road Monument, using photogrammetry techniques and old squeezes of the stones, have revealed that this destination was Andriake. The fact that the target was Andriake added to our knowledge of the route list on the monument and required some adjustments in our approach. It is now understood that a road from a city to its port was given in the road list of the monument and that not all settlements in the Stadiasmos of Patara are independent poleis, but when they have a different status, this distinction is given – as in the use of “port” (ὁ λιμήν) for Andriake. In addition, the roads from Phellos in l. 17 of face C and from Sidyma in l. 11 of face B were examined. In the first of these, it was suggested that the destination could not be “Neisa via Kandyba”, but that a road from Phellos could lead to Antiphellos, while no new approach could be provided for the second.
