Everything about Harpasa totally explained
Harpasa in a Roman Catholic titular see in the former Roman province of
Caria,
suffragan of the
archbishopric of Stauropolis.
Little is known of the history of this town, situated on the bank of the
Harpasus, a tributary of the
Mæander. It is mentioned by
Ptolemy (V, ii, xix), by
Stephanus Byzantius, by
Hierocles (Syneed., 688) and by
Pliny the Elder (V, xxix). According to Pliny, there was in the neighbourhood a rocking-stone which could be set in motion by a finger-touch, whereas the force of the whole body couldn't move it.
The Turkish village and ruined castle of
Arpaz, in district of
Nazilli, preserves the old name.
Harpasa appears in the lists of the
Notitiæ Episcopatuum until the twelfth or thirteenth century.
Lequien (
Oriens Christianus I, 907) mentions only four bishops: Phinias, who took part in the
Council of Ephesus in 431; Zoticus, represented at the
Council of Chalcedon by the prespyter Philotheos, 451; Irenæus, an opponent of the Council of Chalcedon; Leo, in Constantinople at the
Photian Council of 879.
