Stectorium or Stektorion ( Ancient Greek: Στεκτόριον) was a town of ancient Phrygia, in the Phrygian Pentapolis between Peltae and Synnada, inhabited during Roman and Byzantine times. [1] [2] Pausanias believed that Mygdon's tomb was located here. [3]
It was an episcopal see of a bishop; no longer a territorial diocese, it remains a Latin Church titular see of the Catholic Church. [4]
Its site is located near Kocahüyük in Asiatic Turkey. [1] [5]
