Arabissus

Arabissus or Arabissos (Ancient Greek: Ἀραβισσός), also known as Tripotamos,[1] was a town in ancient Cataonia, then Cappadocia, and later in the Roman province of Armenia Secunda.

History

Arabissus in the 5th century

The Byzantine Emperor Maurice was born there in 539 who embellished it during his reign. The town suffered from the earthquake of 584/85 and in July 629, emperor Heraclius met here with Shahrbaraz to arrange terms with Persia to end the ongoing war.[2]

The town belonged to the so-called Armenian Hexapolis and remained under Byzantine control in the seventh century.[3] It suffered much during the wars with the Arabs and became the center of a kleisoura.[2] After Sayf al-Dawla ravaged Arabissos and its environment in his campaigns of 944 and 951, the town was replaced by Plasta.[4]

Location

The town corresponds to present-day Afşin, formerly Yarpuz, in Kahramanmaraş Province, Turkey.[5][1] A cave of the Seven Sleepers is located in the Eshab-ı Kehf Kulliye.

Ecclesiastical history

Arabissus was an episcopal see, a suffragan of Melitene.

Its diocesan bishops included Otreius, who was at the First Council of Constantinople in 381, and Adolius at the Council of Chalcedon in 451, Adelphius, who was a signatory of the 458 letter of the bishops of the province of Armenia II to Byzantine Emperor Leo I the Thracian to protest at the murder of Proterius of Alexandria, the writer Leontius, who came later, and Georgius, who was at the Trullan Council of 692. Michael the Syrian mentions several Jacobite Church bishops of Arabissus of the 7th to the 10th centuries.[6][7] Its titular bishops include Stephen Peter Alencastre (1924–1940).

Arabissus is now a titular see of the Catholic Church.[8]
