Cestrus was a city in the

River Cestros and was thus in Pamphylia.[2] Following Lequien's hypothesis, the 19th-century annual publication Gerarchia cattolica identified the town with "Ak-Sou", which Sophrone Pétridès called an odd mistake, since this is the name of the River Cestros, not of a city.[1]

Bishops

Bishop Epiphanius of Cestrus was present at the

Leo I the Thracian in 458 concerning the killing of Proterius of Alexandria.[2][3][4] The Jacobite Michael the Syrian reports that another, Elpidius, was a partisan of Severus of Antioch.[1]

No longer a residential bishopric, Cestrus is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.[5]
