Masikytes was actually a region, while Myra is the city in that region where it’s believed these coins were minted. Per Strabo, Myra was one of the largest cities in the Lycian League.
The coinage of the Lycian league was sometimes minted for the region, and sometimes for the city. The two seem to have coincided at times.
