Meloë (Lycia)

Meloë (Ancient Greek: Μελόη) was a town in ancient Lycia, located near Cape Kilidonia.[1]

Bishops

When speaking of the bishopric of Meloë in Lycia, Le Quien assigned to it three bishops mentioned in the acts of relatively late church councils. To do so, he assumes that Meloë was also called Mela. The first is Nicetas. who signed the acts of the Second Council of Nicaea (787) as "Nicetas of Mela". Another is Paulus, who signed the acts of the Council of Constantinople (869) and those of the Council of Constantinople (879) as "Paulus of Mela". Also present at the last of these councils was "Petrus of Meloë". Le Quien takes it that Paulus became bishop under Patriarch Ignatius of Constantinople and Petrus under Photius.[2] Gams accepts Le !uien's list of three named bishops.[3]

Le Quien mentions as present at the council of 787 a bishop of Mela in Bithynia whose name is given in some accounts as Nicetas, the name also of the Nicetas of Mela whom Le Quien assigns to Meloë in Lycia, while other accounts refer to him as Nectarius.[4] In his study of the 787 council, Darrouzès also assigns this Nicetas of Mela to Mela in Bithynia.[5] Le Quien likewise mentions as bishop of Mela in Bithynia "Paulus of Mela", present at the councils of 869 and 879.[4] Gams, on the other hand, makes no mention of Mela in Bithynia among the bishoprics of either Bithynia Prima or Bithynia Secunda.[6]

No longer a residential bishopric, Meloë in Lycia is now listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.[1]

gollark: Create a new section "Bees" %bees.Create a rule "Bee utilization part 1" (%bees-1) in %bees:> The deployment status of bees is considered part of the Game State. No bee action (except for bee deployment) may be taken unless bees are currently deployed. Bee actions include deployment of bees, which makes bees become deployed, cessation of bees, which makes bees not be deployed, and use of bees against a player. The player bees are to be used against must be indicated in the Bee Poll authorizing this action. Use of bees against players causes their Points quantity to be reduced by 1, unless it is already 0, in which case there is no effect.Create a rule "Bee Poll" (%bee-poll) in %polls:> A Bee Poll is required to authorize bees to perform actions, as described in %bees. The default allowed reactions for a Bee Poll are 👍 (representing a vote for) and 👎 (representing a vote against). Bee Polls may be closed if they have existed for 12 hours or more, rather than the usual 24. If a Bee Poll is passed, the action it describes is taken. Players are permitted to use multiple reactions on a Bee Poll. A Bee Poll must clearly indicate that it is a Bee Poll.Due to the passage of proposal #207, bees are to be considered "deployed" initially.
gollark: Because funlolz.
gollark: I'm describing it.
gollark: No.
gollark: I'm rewriting mine and it's better because it provides a general framework for bee deployment.
