Description
Eudoxias was a titular see in Galatia Secunda, Asia Minor, under Pessinus as suffragan. Only Hierocles and Parthey mention it. Aquilas in 451 and Menas in 536 are the two bishops known, and the life of Saint Theodore of Sycæ speaks of another near the end of the sixth century.
Nobody knows the town's original name. Eudoxias may honour either the mother or the daughter of Theodosius II. Perhaps it was Gordion, where Alexander the Great cut the famous knot. Perhaps it stood at modern Yürme in the vilayet of Angora. Others instead match Eudoxias with Akkilaion, whose site is unknown, and put Germe at Yürme.
