- Trocmades
Trocmade(s) (or Trocmada) is a Roman Catholic
titular see of theRoman Province ofGalatia Secunda ,suffragan ofPessinus .History
No geographer or historian mentions a city of this name;
Hierocles ' Synecemus (698, 1) gives "regio Trocnades", instead of "Regetnoknada", referring, doubtless, to theGalatian name of some tribe on the left bank of the Sangarius; its principal centre was probably in the Turkish village ofKaymaz , about twenty-four miles east ofEskişehir ,Turkey All the "Notitiae episcopatuum" up to the thirteenth century mention the see Trokmadon among the suffragans of Pessinus; the two most recent (thirteenth century) call it Lotinou; perhaps it should be Plotinou, fromSt. Plotinus , venerated there. The official lists of the Roman Curia give Trocmadae.Le Quien ("Oriens christianus", I, 493), gives Trocmada. From these erroneous forms arises a confusion of the name with the Galatian tribe ofTrocmi . Le Quien gives a list of the known bishops:*Cyriacus, who represented his metropolitan at the
Second Council of Ephesus (449), and was represented by a priest at theCouncil of Chalcedon (451)
*Theodore, present at theCouncil of Constantinople (681)
*Leo, at theSecond Council of Nicaea (787)
*Constantine at thePhotian Council of Constantinople (879).Cyriacus, said to have assisted at the
First Council of Nicaea (325), is not mentioned in the authentic lists of bishops present at that council.ource
