Ancient Greek: Κότεννα) was a city in the Roman province of Pamphylia I in Asia Minor. It corresponds to modern Gödene, near Konya, Turkey
.

Name

Notitiae episcopatuum. It has been said that the Kotenneis are the same as the Etenneis (Greek: Ετεννεῖς), mentioned by Polybius (V, 73) as living in Pisidia above Side, and who struck coins in the Roman times. The native name may have been Hetenneis, and the tribe afterwards divided into at least two districts, the northern taking the name Etenneis, while the southern preferred Kotenneis.[1]

Bishopric

The

No longer a residential bishopric, Cotenna is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.[5] Since the Second Vatican Council no new appointments of titular bishops have been made to such Eastern sees, leaving this titular see vacant since the death of the last incumbent in 1986.

There was another see called Etenna. A third district was perhaps also called Banaba or Manaua; for in 680 Cosmas appears as Bishop of "Kotenna and Manaua".[1]
