EFKARPIA (Ancient city) FRYGIA
Eucarpia (Eukarpia: Eth. Eukarpeus, Eucarpenus), a town in Phrygia,
not far from the sources of the Maeander, on the road from Dorylaeum to Apameia
Cibotus; it was situated in a very fertile district, to which it is said to have
been indebted for its name. The vine especially grew there very luxuriously. (Steph.
B. s. v.; Strab. xii. p. 576.) Under the Roman dominion Eucarpia belonged to the
conventus of Synnada, to the southwest of which city it was situated. (Plin. v.
29; comp. Ptol. v. 2. § 24; Hierocl. p. 666; Geogr. Rav.) Both Arundell (Discov.
in As. Min. i. p. 136) and Kiepert place Eucarpia at no great distance from Segiclar,
but its exact site is unknown.
