Syca or Syce or Syke ( Ancient Greek: Σύκη), also called Sycae or Sykai (Συκαί), [1] possibly also called Setos, was a town of ancient Cilicia and later of Isauria, between Arsinoë and Celenderis. [2] [3] It became a bishopric; no longer the seat of a residential bishop, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church. [4]
Syce is located near Softa Kalesi in Asiatic Turkey. [5] [2]
