Nyssa () was a small town in Cappadocia. The Antonine Itinerary places it on the road from Ancyra to Caesarea, between Parnassos and Asiana, 24 Roman miles from Parnassus and 32 from Asiana. Ptolemy's ''Geography'' places it at 68°20' 38°40 (in his degrees) in the Prefecture of Murimene ().〔 The Synecdemus and the ''Notitiae Episcopatuum'' indicate that Nyssa was in the Roman province of Cappadocia Prima.〔(Sophrone Pétridès, "Nyssa" in ''Catholic Encyclopedia'' (New York 1911) )〕 == Site == The site of Nyssa has been identified as near the modern town of Harmandalı, Ortaköy district, Aksaray province, in south-central Turkey.〔Talbert, Richard. ''Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World'', Princeton University Press, 2000, Map-by-map Directory, p. 980.〕 The archaeological site consists of two tells, named Büyükkale (big castle) and Küçükkale (little castle), located 2 km to the north of Harmandalı.〔Pochoshajew, Igor. ''(Nyssa in Kappadokien )'', (German), p. 6. Retrieved 23 August 2009.〕 Another proposed location associates it with the modern city of Nevşehir, but modern scholarship has cast serious doubt on this.〔Silvas, Anna. ''The Asketikon of St. Basil the Great'', Oxford University Press, 2005, p. 41. ISBN 0-19-927351-0〕〔 William Smith placed the town at a village, not otherwise mentioned, called Nirse or Nissa and said that it was anciently in a district called ''Muriane'', not far from the river Halys.〔(William Smith, ''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography'' (1854) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nyssa (Cappadocia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
