Cadi or Kadoi ( Ancient Greek: Κάδοι) was a city of ancient Mysia according to Stephanus of Byzantium, [1] or of Phrygia Epictetius according to Strabo. [2] It was inhabited during Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine times. [3] The coins of Cadi bear the ethnic name Καδοηνων; and the river Hermus is represented on them. Cadi may be the place which Propertius calls "Mygdonii Cadi." [4] It was afterwards an episcopal see, in ecclesiastic province of Phrygia Pacatiana. No longer a residential bishopric, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church. [5]
Its site is located near Gediz, Kütahya in Asiatic Turkey. [3] [6]
