ΑΝΤΙΟΧΕΙΑ ΠΡΟΣ ΠΙΣΙΔΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
ΑΔΑΔΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Adada (Eth. Adadeus, Ptol.; Adadare in old edit. of Strabo; Odada, Hierocl.), a town in Pisidia of uncertain site. On coins of Valerian and Gallienus we find ADADEMN. Adada is mentioned in the Councils as the see of a bishop. (Artemiod. ap. Strab. xii. p. 570; Ptol. v. 5. § 8; Hierocl. p. 674, with Wesseling's note.)
ΑΝΤΙΟΧΕΙΑ ΠΡΟΣ ΠΙΣΙΔΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Antiocheia Pisidiae (A. heprostei Pisidiai, A. tes Pisidias, Act.
Apost. xiii. 14), was situated on the S. side of the mountain boundary between
Phrygia and Pisidia. Strabo places Philomelium on the north side of this range
and close to it, and Antiocheia on the south. Akshehr corresponds to Philomelium
and Yalobatch to Antiocheia. The distance from Yalobatch to Akcshehr is six hours
over the mountains, Akshehr being exactly opposite. (Hamilton, Researches, &c.,
vol. i. p. 472; Arundell, Discoveries, &c., vol. i. p. 281.) Strabo describes
Philomelium as being in a plain, and Antiocheia on a small eminence; and this
description exactly suits Akcshehr and Yalobatch.
Arundell first described the remains of Antiocheia, which are numerous.
He mentions a large building constructed of prodigious stones, of which the groundplan
and the circular end for the bema were remaining. He supposes this to have been
a church. There are the ruins of a wall; and twenty perfect arches of an aqueduct,
the stones of which are without cement, and of the same large dimensions as those
in the wall. There are also the remains of a temple of Dionysus, and of a small
theatre. Another construction is cut in the rock in a semicircular form, in the
centre of which a mass of rock has been left, which is hollowed out into a square
chamber. Masses of highly finished marble cornices, with several broken fluted
columns, are spread about the hollow. This place may have been the adytum of a
temple, as the remains of a portico are seen in front; and it has been conjectured
that if the edifice was a temple, it may be that of Men Arcaeus, who was worshipped
at Antioch. The temple had slaves. Hamilton copied several inscriptions, all Latin
except one. The site of this city is now clearly determined by the verification
of the description of Strabo, and this fact is a valuable addition to our knowledge
of the geography of Asia Minor.
Antiocheia is said to have been founded by a colony from Magnesia,
on the Maeander. The Romans, says Strabo, released it from the kings, at the time
when they gave the rest of Asia, within Taurus, to Eumenes. The kings are the
Syrian kings. After Antiochus III. was defeated by the Romans at Magnesia, B.C.
190, they enlarged the dominions of Eumenes II. king of Pergamus, and Antioch
was included in the grant. It afterwards came into the possession of the Romans,
and was made a colony, with the title of Caesarea (Plin. v. 4), a name which was
given it apparently early in the imperial period. Hamilton found an inscription
with the words Antiocheae Caesare, the rest being effaced; and there is the same
evidence on coins. The name of the god Men or Mensis also appears on coins of
Antioch.
The most memorable event in the history of Antioch is the visit of
Paul and Barnabas. The place then contained a large number of Jews. The preaching
of Paul produced a great effect upon the Greeks, but the Jews raised a persecution
against the Apostles, and expelled them from the town. They, however, paid it
a second visit (Acts, xiv. 21), and confirmed the disciples.
Antioch was the capital of the Roman province Pisidia, and had the
Jus Italicum. (Paulus, Dig. 50. tit. 15. s. 8.)

ΛΥΣΙΑΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Lysias (Lusias: Eth. Lusiades), a small town in Phrygia, between Synnada
and Prymnessus. (Strab. xii. p. 576; Plin. v. 29; Ptol. v. 2. § 23; Hierocl. p.
677.) No particulars are known about the place, nor is its site ascertained, but
we still possess coins of Lysias. (Eckhel, Doctr. Num. iii. p. 167.)
ΣΕΛΕΥΚΕΙΑ ΣΙΔΗΡΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Seleuceia or Seleucia, (Seleukeia). A town near the northern frontier
of Pisidia, surnamed Sidera (he Sidera, Ptol. v. 5. § 4; Hierocl. p. 673), probably
on account of iron-works in its vicinity. There are some coins of this place with
the image of the Asiatic divinity Men, who was worshipped at Antioch, and bearing
the inscription Klaudisseleukeon, which might lead to the idea that the place
was restored by the emperor Claudius. (Sestini, Mont. Vet. p. 96.) Its site is
now occupied by the town of Ejerdir.

ΑΝΤΙΟΧΕΙΑ ΠΡΟΣ ΠΙΣΙΔΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
A city on the borders of Phrygia and Pisidia; built by colonists from Magnesia; made a colony under Augustus, and called Caesarea.
Near Sutculer, about 35 km S of Egridir. The city is first mentioned
in an inscription of the 2d c. B.C. recording a treaty of friendship and alliance
with Termessos Maior; reference is made to "the democracy established in
each of the cities." Coinage began in the 1st c. B.C., with the title "Autonomous,"
and continued to the time of Gallienus. Later the city was a bishopric under the
metropolitan of Antiocheia.
The location at Karabavli is accepted, though not strictly proved.
The ruins are quite impressive, including a Temple of the Emperors and Aphrodite,
and a Temple of the Emperors and Zeus Sarapis. From the agora a finely preserved
stairway leads up to a tower and other buildings, apparently the acropolis of
the city. Many of the buildings are standing to several stories.

ΑΝΤΙΟΧΕΙΑ ΠΡΟΣ ΠΙΣΙΔΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
A city, near modern Yalvac, described as being "towards Pisidia"
(Strab. 12.) and "of Pisidia" (Acts 13:14; Ptol. 5.4.9), in Phrygia
Paroreios. Founded before 261 and refounded 25 B.C. as Colonia Caesarea in Provincia
Galatia, it became metropolis of Byzantine Pisidia, fell to the Arabs in 712-713,
and perished in the 13th c.
The site (46.5 ha) lies on seven hills. The forum (Augusta Platea)
has a semicircular rock-cut rear wall (traces of a stoa) and contains foundations
of a temple, perhaps of Jupiter. To the W of a stairway is the Tiberia Platea,
which yielded the Monumentum Antiochenum. A small theater, a Christian church
and basilica (4th c. mosaics), and Decumanus Maximus leading from the triple city
gate of Severan times may also be seen. Part of the city wall is preserved at
the NW corner of the site. More striking are the remains of an aqueduct to the
N and the ruins of the shrine of Men on the hill of Kara Kuyu to the SE.
Yalvac museum contains monuments and coins; the Kara Kuyu dedications
are in the Classical Museum, Konya, the Monumentum in Ankara, and other inscriptions
and sculpture in Afyon and Istanbul (Archaeological Museum).

ΣΕΛΕΥΚΕΙΑ ΣΙΔΗΡΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Town in Pisidia 15 km N of Isparta. Founded by Seleukos I or Antiochos
I as a colony to protect the military road across N Pisidia. In the 1st c. A.D.
the name was officially changed to Claudioseleuceia; this name is retained on
the coins down to the time of Claudius II, though in Ptolemy, Hierokles, and the
Notitiae the prefix is dropped.
The site is now much denuded. The city wall is best preserved at the
SE angle, where it is formed of huge squared blocks. Some traces of a theater
remain, and sherds of Roman date are abundant. The necropolis covers the NW slope
of the hill; it includes underground rock-cut chambers with rectangular doors,
tombs of Carian type with rock-cut grave and covering slab, and a single built
tomb still standing.

ΑΝΤΙΟΧΕΙΑ ΠΡΟΣ ΠΙΣΙΔΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Like its Syrian namesake, it was founded by Seleucus Nicator situated on the Sebaste road. This road left the high-road from Ephesus to the East at Apamea, went to Iconium and then southeast through the Cilician Gates to Syria (cf. Acts, xviii, 23). The city lay south of the Sultan Dagh, on the confines of Pisidia, whence its name of "Antioch-towards- Pisidia" (Strabo, XII, 8). Definitively a Roman possession since Amytas's death (25 B. C.), Augustus had made it (6 B. C.) a colony, with a view to checking the brigands of the Taurus mountains (II Cor., xi, 26). Beside its Roman inhabitants and older Greek and Phrygian population, Antioch had a prosperous Jewish colony whose origin probably went back to Antiochus the Great (223-178 B. C.) (cf. Josephus, Ant., XII, iii, 3 sq.), and whose influence seems to have been considerable (cf. Acts, xiii, 45, 50; xiv, 20 sq.; Harnack, "Die Mission", etc., p. 2, note 2 and ref.). Acts, xiii, 14-52 describes at length the sojourn of St. Paul at Antioch. The episode, clearly important to the writer, has been justly compared to Luke, iv, 16-30; it is a kind of programme-scene where Paul's Gospel is outlined. A longer stay of the missionaries is implied in Acts, xiii, 49. On his return from Derbe, St. Paul revisited Antioch (Acts, xiv, 20). Two other visits seem implied in Acts, xvi, 4, 6; xviii, 23.
