- Caloe
Caloe is a Catholic titular see. Located in
Asia Minor , the original see is mentioned as Kaloe, and Keloue in inscriptions of the third century, Kalose inHierocles 's "Synecdemos " (660); as Kalloe, Kaloe, and Kolone inParthey 's "Notitiæ episcopatuum ", where it figures from the sixth to the twelfth or thirteenth century.Caloe is identified with the modern Kilis, Keles, Kelas, to the southwest of
Alaşehir (ancient Philadelphia), westernTurkey . It isn in the upper valley of the Kutchuk-Mendérès (Caÿstrus).There was in
Lydia a Lake Koloe, near which the tombs of Lydian kings and the temple of Artemis Koloene stood. According toLequien , the titular see took its name from this locality; but his view is inconsistent with the position assigned to Caloe by the "Notitiæ episcopatuum" as a suffragan see of Ephesus.External link
