Leandis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Laranda (Cataonia))

Leandis (Ancient Greek: Λεανδίς) was a town in the eastern part of ancient Cataonia 18 miles to the south of Cocusus, in a pass of Mount Taurus, on the road to Anazarbus.[1] This town is perhaps the same as the Laranda of the Antonine Itinerary and of the Synecdemus,[2] which must not be confounded with the Laranda of Lycaonia.

Its site is unlocated.
