in the 12th century. The metropolis remained active until 1369.

History

The see is attested since the early 4th century, when the Bishop of Miletus attended the

Palaiologan period). In the 13th century, it was also referred to as Palatia, after the local Byzantine fortress of Ephesus. The see remained active until 1369, when it ceased activity due to the upheavals of the Ottoman conquest of the region. It was thereafter awarded as a titular diocese to the metropolitans of Aphrodisias.^[1]
