Although William Smith'sDictionary of Greek and Roman Geography (1854) said that theSynecdemus ofHierocles mentions four towns inAsia Minor called Eudocia (Ancient Greek:Εὐδοκία), including one inCappadocia,[1] the text of theSynecdemus as edited byGustav Parthey in 1866 mentions no town of that name or of any similar name among the Cappadocian towns.[2]
Smith also said that the town had formerly belonged to theAnatolian Theme butLeo VI incorporated it into Cappadocia. TheSynecdemus was composed, underJustinian (527–565), before 535, three and a half centuries before the time of Leo VI, who reigned from 886 to 912.
