37°17′55″N30°14′55″E / 37.29861°N 30.24861°E /37.29861; 30.24861Pogla was a town in the lateRoman province ofPamphylia Secunda. Its bishopric, which was asuffragan ofPerge, is included in theCatholic Church's list oftitular sees.[1]
Pogla is mentioned byPtolemy,[2] and possibly byHierocles,[3] where he speaks of a town called Socla (Σώκλα) in Pamphylia,[4] perhaps a manuscript corruption.[5] The town's name after antiquity came to be Fugla,[1][4] and was then changed toÇomaklı in the modern period.[6]
Coins of Pogla of the 2nd and 3rd centuries are extant, bearing on the obverse images of emperors, and on the reverse divinities such asArtemis with the inscription ΠΟΓΛΕΩΝ (of the Pogleans).[7]
Le Quien[8] mentions two bishops: Paul, present at theCouncil of Chalcedon (451) and Nicephorus at theCouncil of Nicæa (787). TheNotitiae Episcopatuum continue to mention the see among the suffragans of Perge as late as the 13th century.[4]
