Prymnessus or Prymnessos (Ancient Greek: Πρύμνησσος), or Prymnesus or Prymnesos (Πρύμνησος),[1] or Prymnesia (Πρυμνησία) was a town of ancient Phrygia. Its site is located near Sülün in Asiatic Turkey.[2][3]

History[edit]

The town was inhabited during Roman and Byzantine times.[2] It was the see of a Christian bishop. No longer the seat of a residential bishop, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[4]

The martyr and saint Ariadne of Phrygia lived here according to her vita.[5][6]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
