Bindaios, alsoBinda, was a town ofancient Pisidia inhabited duringRoman andByzantine times.[1] Under the name Binda, it became the seat of a bishop.
Its site is located nearKüçük Gökceli (formerly Findos, inIsparta District) inAsiatic Turkey.[1][2]
The bishop of Binda was asuffragan bishop ofAntiochia in Pisidia. The episcopal see is not mentioned in theNotitiae Episcopatuum of Pseudo-Epiphanius, which can be dated to 640, but appears in that attributed toByzantine EmperorLeo VI the Isaurian.[3]
Three bishops of the see are known through their participation in church councils. Theodorus was at theTrullan Council of 692. At theCouncil of Constantinople (879) there were two bishops of Binda, Stephanus and Paulus, perhaps, as in other cases, one ordained byPatriarch Ignatius of Constantinople, the other byPhotius. No longer a residential bishopric, Binda is today listed by theCatholic Church as atitular see.[4]
No longer a residential bishopric, it remains atitular see of theRoman Catholic Church. Past incumbents includeJohn D'Alton (1942–1943),Ignácio Krause (1944–1946),Celestino Fernández y Fernández (1948–1952),Eugen Seiterich (1952–1954),Bernard Joseph Topel (1955–1955),Joseph Calasanz Fließer (1956–1960),Cletus Joseph Benjamin (1960–1961),Gaetano Alibrandi (1961–2003).[5]
