Description
Kinna, a titular see of Asia Minor, lay probably in the north-west of the rich corn country called Haimane, west of Angora. Its exact site cannot be fixed, though it must have stood near Balyk Koyounji or closer to the River Sangarius. The see was suffragan to Ancyra in Galatia Prima.
Lequien names ten bishops of Kinna. The first, Gorgonius, attended Nicaea in 325. The tenth, Angonius, backed Photius in 879. Another bishop, Sabas, probably supported Saint Ignatius. The see also appears in the later lists of bishoprics known as the Notitiae episcopatuum.
