Philadelphia or Philadelpheia ( Ancient Greek: Φιλαδέλφεια), was a town of ancient Cilicia, and later of Isauria. It was located in the interior of Cilicia Aspera, on the river Calycadnus, above Aphrodisias. [1] [2] It became an episcopal see; no longer the site of a residential bishop, it remains under the name Philadelphia Minor, a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church. [3]
Its site is tentatively located near İmşi Ören in Karaman Province, Turkey. [4] [5]
