Arindela
Arindela (Ancient Greek: Ἀρίνδηλα) was a town in the late Roman province of Palaestina Salutaris, also called Palaestina Tertia. It corresponds to modern Gharandal, in the region of Tafilah, south Jordan.[1]
Description
The town, situated at 1300 metres above sea level, became prominent in Byzantine times, ranking third among the cities of the province.[1]
Arindela was also a Christian bishopric. One of its bishops, Theodorus, took part in the Council of Ephesus in 431. Another, Macarius, participated in a council held at Jerusalem in 536.[2]
No longer a residential bishopric, Arindela is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.[3]
