Lysinia ( Ancient Greek: Λυσινία) [1] or Lysinoe (Λυσινόη) was a town in the north of ancient Pisidia and later assigned to Pamphylia. [2] [3] Hierocles has the name as Lysenara (Λυσήναρα). [4] It was located on the south of the Ascania Lacus, and west of Sagalassus.
It became the seat of a bishop; no longer a residential bishopric, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church. [5]
Its site is located near the modern town of Karakent in Burdur Province, Turkey. [6]
