Limnae in Pisidia
Limnae (in Pisidia) was a city and bishopric in the Roman province of Pisidia (Asia Minor), which is now a Latin Catholic titular see.
The city was called Λίμναι (genitive Λιμνῶν, as in πόλις Λιμνῶν, city of Limnae), as well as Λιμέναι (Limenae) and Λυμναία (Lymnaea). The Greek word Λίμναι means lakes or marshes. The town was also called Limnopolis (Λιμνῶν πόλις). The town, in the north of Pisidia, is only mentioned by ecclesiastical writers.
It is also spelled Limnæ and has been identified with early-modern Gaziri (also spelled Ghaziri), where there is a wall-surrounded island in Lake Hoyran called Limenia, housing ruins that include those of a temple of Artemis. In the present day, it is located at the shore of Aşağıtırtar.
The Pisidian city Limnae was an episcopal see, now listed in the Annuario Pontificio as a Latin Catholic titular bishopric, suffragan of Antioch of Pisidia, since the diocese was nominally restored in 1933 (Limne in Curiate Italian; Latin adjective Limnen(sis)).
It is vacant since decades, having had the following incumbents, so far of the fitting Episcopal (lowest) rank :
