Bubon (Lycia)

[1] The truth of this observation of Stephanus is proved by the inscription found on the spot: Βουβωνέων ἡ Βουλὴ καὶ ὁ Δῆμος.

Bubon is located west of ancient Balbura, near Ibecik, as confirmed by modern scholars.

Bubon was a Christian bishopric, a suffragan of the metropolitan see of Myra, the capital of the Roman province of Lycia.

The other attended the Council of Chalcedon in 451 and was a signatory of the protest letter that the bishops of the province of Lycia sent in 458 to Byzantine Emperor Leo I the Thracian over the killing of Proterius of Alexandria.

[6][7] No longer a residential bishopric, Bubon is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.
