Lysias was a city and episcopal see in the Roman province of Phrygia Salutaris I and is now a titular see. [1]
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:
Ruins of Lysias exist between the villages of Oinan and Aresli in the plain of Oinan, a little northeast of Lake Eğirdir. [1] [2]
