Panemotichus orPanemoteichos was inland town in the lateRoman province ofPamphylia Secunda. It was also a bishopric, asuffragan of thePerge, themetropolitan see of the province. It was inhabited duringRoman andByzantine times.[1]
Panemotichus coined money during the Roman epoch (Head, "Historia numorum", 591).
The city is spoken of byHierocles in the sixth century (Synecedemus, 681, 3) and in the tenth byConstantine Porphyrogenitus ("De thematibus", ed. Bonn, III, 38).
Radet ("Les villes de la Pisidie", 4, reprinted from "Revue Archeologique", Paris, 1893) identifies it with the ruins ofBadem Aghatch, south ofGhirme, in the Ottomanvilayet of Koniah.
A Bishop Faustus assisted at theFirst Council of Nicaea in 325, when the city belonged toIsauria. Later it was part of Pamphylia Secunda. Another bishop, Cratinus, may have assisted at theCouncil of Chalcedon in 451. Hierius signed the provincial letter toByzantine EmperorLeo VI the Wise. Helladius assisted at a minorCouncil of Constantinople in 536. (Le Quien, I, 1031). There is record of no other bishop and the see is not mentioned in theNotitiae Episcopatuum.
Its site is located near ofBoğazköy, inAsiatic Turkey.[1][2] Archaeologists have revealed Iron Age remains there.
