Pacandus

Pacandus

Pacandus is a Roman catholic Titular bishopric, recorded under the form Pacanden among the titular sees in the official list of the Curia 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 the White Fathers. The name of "Pacanden" owes it origin, without doubt, to the bishopric of Acanda in Lycia (Asia Minor), whose bishop, Panaetius, signed in 458 the letter of the bishops of Lycia to Emperor Leo I, and which is mentioned in the "Notitiae Episcopatuum" from the seventh to the thirteenth century among the suffragans of Myra. Its exact site is unknown.
