Dometiopolis

Dometiopolis () was a city of Cilicia Trachea, and in the later Roman province of Isauria in Asia Minor. Its ruins are found in the village of Katranlı, formerly Dindebul.
History.
The city, whose previous name is unknown, was named Dometiopolis (Greek: Δομετιούπολις) after [[Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus (consul 16 BC)]]. According to [[Constantine Porphyrogenitus]] it was one of the ten cities of the [[Isaurian Decapolis]].
Episcopal see.
Dometiopolis became an [[episcopal see]] and is now a [[titular see]] of the [[Catholic Church]].
The see figures in Gustav Parthey's "[[Notitiæ episcopatuum]]", I and III, and in [[Heinrich Gelzer]]'s "Nova Tactica", 1618, as a [[suffragan]] of [[Seleucia]]. [[Lequien]] ("Oriens Christianus" II, 1023) mentions five bishops, from 451 to 879.
The spelling "Domitiopolis" has sometimes been used for the titular see, as in the 1909 "[[Catholic Encyclopedia]]".
