A 13th-century Ahî saint who trained under Ahî Evran in Konya and was sent to Antalya by his shaykh in the reign of Alâeddin Keykubad I. He founded his madrasa and lodge in the Mermerli quarter of Antalya's Kaleiçi, where he also worked as a swordsmith. Mention of him in Sultan Veled's Dîvân attests to his renown; his two-storey tomb survives beside the mosque bearing his name. (Sources: Evliyalar.net; Antalya Cultural Heritage Inventory)
