The Diocese of Castabala is a titular see in Turkey.
During Late Antiquity, the Diocese of Castabala was a suffragan to Anazarbus, the metropolis of the province of Cilicia Secunda.[1]
The names of seven of its diocesan bishops are known.[2][3] The first, Maris, is spoken of in an apocryphal letter of Saint Ignatius, with another letter addressed to him.[4] A bishop Moyses from Catabala was present at the Council of Nicaea in 325.[5] Theophilus, a semi-Arian and friend of Saint Basil, was sent to Rome on an embassy with two colleagues.[6] The last, Theodorus, attended the Trullan Council in 692.[7]
No longer a residential bishopric, Castabala is listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.[8]
