Isinda (

ancient Pisidia
.

Its site is located near

Termessus. At the city's request he raised the siege and fined the Termessians 50 talents.[3][4]

Isinda stood in a strategic position at the western end of the pass leading from Pamphylia by Termessus to Pisidia.[5] Samples of the extensive[5] coinage of Isinda are extant, which give evidence that it considered itself an Ionian colony.[3]

Isinda was later included in the

Council of Constantinople (879).[6][7][8]

No longer a residential bishopric, Isinda is now listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.[9]
