History

Palæopolis, at the site of modern Akören (the one in Adana Province's Aladağ district?), was important enough in the Roman province of Pamphylia Secunda to become a suffragan bishopric of the capital Perge's Metropolitan Archbishop.

Titular see

The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as a titular bishopric of the lowest (episcopal) rank.

It is vacant, having had a single, Eastern Catholic incumbent:

  • Titular Bishop Ioan Dragomir (1949 – 1985.04.25), as Auxiliary Bishop of Maramureş of the Romanians (Romania) (1949 – 1964), later succeeding as Apostolic Administrator of the same Maramureş of the Romanians (Romanian language Byzantine Rite) (1964 – 1985.04.25)

gollark: I mean, to be fair, it's likely quite hard to self-teach 3 years of full time stuff.
gollark: The additional spending of the top ones apparently goes on research quite a lot. That doesn't impact teaching quality much in *most* areas, since I don't think that much of your education is going to be in state of the art research. Maybe the last year.
gollark: Prestigious is the more accurate word I guess.
gollark: I expect there are significant diminishing returns with actual teaching quality in the trendier universities.
