Lycian was used in the land of Lycia in the first millenium BC. Its corpus includes over 150 inscriptions on stone, over 200 on coins and a couple on other objects (Melchert 2004:591) The most important texts are the stele of Xanthos and the trilingual of Leton. It was written in an alphabet derived from or related to the Greek alphabet.

There is no example of adjective valence found in the (very fragmentary) Lycian corpus.
