Lysias, Phrygia

Lysias was a city and episcopal see in the Roman province of Phrygia Salutaris I and is now a titular see.[1]

History

The city of Lysias is mentioned by Strabo, XII, 576, Pliny, V, 29, Ptolemy, V, 2, 23, Hierocles, and the Notitiae Episcopatuum.[2] It was probably founded by Antiochus III the Great about 200 BC.[2]

Some of its coins are still extant.[3]

Lequien (Oriens christianus, I, 845) names three bishops of Lysias, suffragans of Synnada:

  • Theagenes, present at the Council of Sardica, 344
  • Philip, at Chalcedon 451
  • Constantine, at Constantinople, 879[2]

Location

Ruins of Lysias exist between the villages of Oinan and Aresli in the plain of Oinan, a little northeast of Lake Eğirdir.[1][2]

gollark: No idea. I don't think I've ever needed or seen that honestly?
gollark: If you use DD/MM/YYYY AutoBotRobot queues your reminder at midnight UTC then, if you use YYYY-MM-DD it uses the current time but the provided date.
gollark: But you do need dates fairly often, and this makes it *consistent* between implementations.
gollark: For example, as well as the time-duration-type thing ("5y2mo3w" etc) it actually supports DD/MM/YYYY as well as some weird backward thing because it uses an external library for it too.
gollark: And even then it still has some weirdness.
