- Pacandus
Pacandus is a Roman catholic
Titular bishopric , recorded under the form Pacanden among the titular sees in the official list of theCuria Romana as late as 1884, when it was suppressed as never having existed as a residential see. One titular was Mgr Léon Livinhac,superior general of theWhite Fathers . The name of "Pacanden" owes it origin, without doubt, to the bishopric ofAcanda inLycia (Asia Minor), whose bishop, Panaetius, signed in 458 the letter of the bishops of Lycia toEmperor Leo I , and which is mentioned in the "Notitiae Episcopatuum " from the seventh to the thirteenth century among thesuffragan s ofMyra . Its exact site is unknown.ource
