Lysias, a titular see of Phrygia Salutaris, mentioned by Strabo, XII, 576, Pliny, V, 29, Ptolemy, V, 2, 23, Hierocles, and the “Notitiae episcopatuum”, probably founded by Antiochus the Great about 200 B. ¢. Some of its coins are still extant. Ramsay (Cities and Bishoprics of Phrygia, 754) traces its original site from still existing ruins between the villages of Oinan and Aresli in the plain of Oinan, a little north-east of Lake Egerdir, in the vilayet of Konia. Lequien (Oriens christianus, I, 845) names∗ three bishops of Lysias suffragans of Synnada: The: agenes, present at the Council of Sardica, 344; Philip, at Chalcedon 451; and Constantine, at Constantinople, 879.
