History
Pedachtoë or Pedachthoe, also known as Heracleopolis or Herakleioupolis, was a town of ancient Pontus, inhabited during Roman and Byzantine times. It was assigned to the late Roman province of Armenia Prima, in which it became the seat of an archbishop. No longer a residential see, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.
