Mossyna (Ancient Greek: Μοσσύνα) or Mosyna (Μοσύνα) was a city of the middle Maeander valley in the late Roman province Phrygia Pacatiana II. It is mentioned as a bishopric by Hierocles and other ecclesiastical writers.[1][2][3] It may have been named for the classical Mossynoeci, or for the Greek word for a wooden tower (Μοσσύν).[3]
Mossyna became a Byzantine bishopric, located between Dionysopolis and Laodikeia, and is included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees.[4]
Its site is 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) northeast of Çal, in Denizli Province, Turkey.[5]
