Dometiopolis
Dometiopolis (Ancient Greek: Δομετιούπολις) 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), Ermenek, Karaman Province, Turkey.
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.
The episcopal see of Dometiopolis is mentioned 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.
It remains a titular see of the Catholic Church, sometimes under the spelling "Domitiopolis".
