Notes:
[1] cf. generally
Strabo 14.3.7;
Stephanus of
Byzantium s.v. The present reference to an 'eparchy' (=
provincia) relates specifically to its status in the Roman Empire. St. Nicholas (
nu 392) was bishop of
Myra. The town of
Myra was located on the alluvial plain of the river Myros, on the southern coast of Asia Minor, the site of the modern Turkish town of Demre (Barrington Atlas map 65 grid C5).
