English summary: Portolans and portolan charts (nautical manuals and charts) are not only important sources for the geography and physical changes of the coastline, especially as a result of coastal subsidence or alluvial formation at the mouth of rivers, but also for historical changes in settlement activity, which may also be linked to physical changes. In the present work we have succeeded to locate the exact (or in a few cases, approximate) location of all the toponyms mentioned in the porto-lans and portolan charts and to explain the often incomprehensible names. The texts from the written sources, some of which are difficult to access, are presented in a separate chapter and supplemented by a large number of maps and images. This volume is thus an important supple-mentation to "Meilensteine, Strassen und das Verkehrsnetz der Provinz Karia" (2014) from the same author as well as to several lemmata of the 18th volume of "Tabula Imperii Byzantini" Se-ries (in preparation) and therefore of special relevance for Byzantine Studies, Toponomastics, and Topological and Historical Studies of the province of Caria. German description: Portulane (Hafenbucher) und Portulankarten sind mit der in ihnen ubermittelten grossen Menge an praktischen Informationen die altesten erhaltenen Hilfsmittel der Seefahrt. Sie liefern Er-kenntnisse uber zeitgenossische geographische und topographische Vorstellungen sowie vielfal-tige physische Umgestaltungen der Kustengeographie und den damit verknupften historischen Veranderungen in der Siedlungstatigkeit. Im vorliegenden Band werden alle in den Portulanen und Portulankarten genannten Toponyme sicher oder in ganz wenigen Fallen ungefahr lokali-siert, mit bereits bekannten Toponymen identifizieret und die oft unverstandlichen Namen und deren Varianten erklart. Der vorliegende Band komplementiert die Publikation "Meilensteine, Strassen und das Verkehrsnetz der Provinz Karia" (2014) von Friedrich Hild, bietet aber auch eine wichtige Erganzung fur zahlreiche Lemmata des noch in Vorbereitung befindlichen 18. Bandes der "Tabula Imperii Byzantini" und ist durch die Auswertung der in den Portulanen und Portulankarten vorkommemden Toponyme sowie das reichhaltige Bild- und Quellenmaterial von besonderer Relevanz fur die Byzantinistik, Toponomastik, Topologie und antike bis fruhosma-nische Geschichte der Region Karien.
