- Parlais
Parlais is a former Roman city and Roman Catholic
titular see ofPisidia (inAsia Minor ),suffragan ofAntioch .History
As a Roman colony it was called Julia Augusta Parlais, and money was coined under this title [
Eckhel , "Historica veterum nummorum", III, 33.] .Ptolemy [V, 6, 16.] calls it Paralais and places it inLycaonia (also in Asia Minor). Kiepert identified it with Barla, in theOttoman vilayet ofKoniah , butW. M. Ramsay ["Asia Minor", 390 sqq.] believes that it is contained in the ruins known asUzumla Monastir . The "Notitiæ Episcopatuum " mention the see as late as the thirteenth century under the names Parlaos, Paralaos and even Parallos. Four bishops are known: Patricius, at theCouncil of Constantinople , 381; Libanius, at theCouncil of Chalcedon , 451 (in the decrees the see is placed in Lycaonia); George, at Constantinople, 692; Anthimus, at Constantinople, 879. Academius who assisted at theFirst Council of Nicaea , 325, was Bishop ofPappa , not of Parlais asLe Quien claims ["Oriens christianus", I, 1057.] .Notes
