2. PEPOUZA. 575

at any of the earlier Councils, and a bishopric Pepouza is not recog-
nized in the older class of Notitiae, is because it was given up to
heresy. The New Jerusalem, then, was destroyed by Justinian; but,
of course, he would not leave the place a desert. He would naturally
make a new foundation, and give the place a fresh start as an Orthodox
city with the name Justinianopolis'; and this city was recognized as
a bishopric by Leo VI about 900 in his reorganization of the ecclesias-
tical system, when the Empire was recovering its vigour after the
long and desolating Arab wars.

Oikokome was united in the same bishopric with Justinianopolis.
It was therefore a neighbouring town or large village. There is no
evidence as to the precise situation ; but I cannot think with M. Radet
that the bishopric of Pepouza extended into the valley of Peltai, and
that Oikokome was in that valley at Sarilar. The mountains must be
taken as the boundary of the bishopric, and Oikokome must be sought
on the north side of them, in the skirts of the Banaz-Ova, whether at
Karib-Hassan, or elsewhere (see § 4).

The name Pouza or Pazon occurs near the sources of the Sangarios :
a Novatian synod was held there in 368 2. It is probably the same
place as the Pepouza, which is mentioned as a town on the frontiers
of Galatia and Phrygia3. Thus the existence of a second form Pouza
for the Phrygian Pepouza, which was suggested on p. 244, is made
probable *. Further, forms with 8 and £ are interchangeable in Asia
Minor5; hence we may perhaps conclude that the village Boudaili
preserves to the present day the old name Pouza in a form adapted
to give a meaning in Turkish6. The name Tymion might then be
plausibly identified with the modern village Dumanli.

Justinianopolis, the later foundation which replaced the destroyed
villages of the heretics, was situated either at Kara-Halilli or Deli-
Heuderli, two villages about a mile from one another. At the latter
there are evident remains of an ancient city, though I failed to find
inscriptions. Kara-Halilli7 is the modern religious centre of the
