== Bishopric ==

The Christian [[bishopric]] of Aspendus was a [[suffragan]] of the [[metropolitan see]] of [[Side, Turkey|Side]], the capital of the [[Roman province]] of [[Pamphylia Prima]], to which Aspendus belonged. Of its bishops, the names of four are recorded in extant documents: Domnus was at the [[First Council of Nicaea]] in 325, Tribonianus at the [[Council of Ephesus]] in 431, Timotheus at the 448 synod held by [[Flavian of Constantinople]], which condemned [[Eutyches]], and at the [[Robber Council of Ephesus]] held the same year, and Leo at the [[Second Council of Nicaea]] in 787.<ref>Michel Lequien, [https://books.google.com/books?id=0agp0mJFG_sC ''Oriens christianus in quatuor Patriarchatus digestus''], Paris 1740, Vol. I, coll. 1001–1002</ref><ref>Pius Bonifacius Gams, [http://www.wbc.poznan.pl/dlibra/doccontent?id=65154&dirids=1 ''Series episcoporum Ecclesiae Catholicae''], Leipzig 1931, p.&nbsp;450</ref>
