From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lauzadus or Lauzadeai was a town of ancient Cilicia or of Isauria, inhabited in Byzantine times.[1] It became a bishopric; no longer the seat of a residential bishop, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[2]

Its site is located near Beşyayla, Asiatic Turkey.[1][3]
