Lyrbe
Lyrbe was a city and episcopal see in the Roman province of Pamphylia Prima and is now a titular see.History
It is only known by its coins and the mention made of it by Dionysius Periegetes, Ptolemy, and Hierocles. Dionysius places the town in Pisidia, while William Smith equates Lyrbe with the Lyrope, mentioned by Ptolemy and placed by the ancient geographer in Cilicia Trachaea.
It is identified with modern Asarkale, Bucakşeyhler, or Şıhlar.
The Notitiae episcopatuum mention Lyrba as an episcopal see, suffragan of the archbishopric of Side, up to the 12th and 13th centuries. Two of its bishops are known: Caius, who attend the First Council of Constantinople in 381, and Taurianus at the First Council of Ephesus in 431 ; Zeuxius was not Bishop of Lyrba, as Le Quien states, but of Syedra.
