Zenopolis (Greek:Ζηνούπολις) was anancient Roman andByzantine city andepiscopal see variously placed inLycia or in neighbouringPamphylia.
At theSecond Council of Constantinople (553), one bishop signed as "Gennadius by the mercy of God bishop of the Zenopolitans, a city of the province ofPamphylia". The acts of theSecond Council of Nicaea (787), on the other hand, bear the signature of Σταυράκιος ἐπίσκοπος Ζηνοπόλεως (Stauracius bishop of Zenopolis), who sat with the bishops ofLycia.[1] In about 940, theNotitia Episcopatuum ofConstantine Porphyrogenitus listed a Zenopolis in Pamphylia.[2]
In hisOrigines Ecclesiasticae,Joseph Bingham gave Zenopolis as the name of two distinct cities, one in Lycia, the other in Pamphylia, and indicates that the Pamphylian see was also called Diciozanabrus.[3]Le Quien interpreted the references instead as concerning a single city that could be viewed as part of either of the two contiguous provinces of Lycia and Pamphylia.[1] Vailhé does not distinguish between any of the cities that bore the name, but writes as if all were identical with the one in Isauria.[4]
TheCatholic Church's list oftitular sees includes the see as Zenopolis in Lycia.[5]
