Kherei was a Dynast in Lycia from circa 440-410 BC. He was apparently the brother of the previous Dynast - Kheriga.
Kherei is presumably identical to the Kherei who is the hero on the tri-lingual Xanthos Stele, which is written in Greek and two Luwian languages; Lycian & Milyan.
All of this is very speculative, however, as is most of Lycian history.
