From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pedachtoë or Pedachthoe, also known as Heracleopolis or Herakleioupolis ( Ancient Greek: Ἡρακλειούπολις), was a town of ancient Pontus, inhabited during Roman and Byzantine times. [1] It was assigned to the late Roman province of Armenia Prima, [2] in which it became the seat of an archbishop. No longer a residential see, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church. [3]

Its site is tentatively located near Akşehir in Asiatic Turkey. [1] [2]
