Linoe

Linoe

Linoe is a Roman Catholic titular see in the former Roman province of Bithynia Secunda.

History

It is known only from the "Notitiae Episcopatuum" which mention it as late as the twelfth and thirteenth centuries as a suffragan of the archbishopric of Nicaea. The Byzantine Emperor Justinian must have raised it to the rank of a city. It is probably the modern Turkish town of Biledjik, a station on the Hnidar-Pasha railway to Konia. It became an important centre for the cultivation of the silk-worm.
Lequien ("Oriens christianus", I, 657) mentions four bishops of Linoe:

*Anastasius, who attended a Council of Constantinople in 692
*Leo, at the Second Council of Nicea in 787
*Basil and Cyril, the one a partisan of St. Ignatius, the other of Photius, at the Fourth Council of Constantinople in 879.
