ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
An old ecclesiastic province with Philadelpheia as its capital. It remained independent until 1390, when it came under Muslim control. Towards the end of the 16th century, the diocese becomes inactive. From the early 18th century, as a result of the demographic and economic revival of the Orthodox Christian element of the region, prelates settle in Philadelpheia once again. |
